מִקְצֹעַ H4740
Corner, corner-buttress — an architectural angle or turning-point in a wall, altar, or building structure
The noun מִקְצֹעַ (miqtsoa) denotes a corner or angular turning-point in a structure. It appears in tabernacle construction where corner frames join at both ends (Exod 26:24; 36:29), in Nehemiah's wall repairs where 'the Angle' marks a specific fortification point (Neh 3:19-20, 24-25), and in Ezekiel's visionary temple for both altar corners (Ezek 41:22) and enclosed corner-courts (Ezek 46:21-22). Second Chronicles 26:9 records Uzziah building a tower at the corner-buttress. Spanish 'esquina' and French 'angle' both capture the architectural precision.
