Hebrew word for place of worship is “Masjid” مسجد מִסְגָּד መስጊድ not Synagogue or Church.

Masjid مسجد מִסְגָּד is from the Hebrew word סָגַד 5456. sagad in the Bible which is Arabic word ** you do not have permission to see this link **”)

Masjid مسجد מִסְגָּד = Sagad מִ+ סָגַד , Mem מִ is just a prefix to change verb into a noun.

Beta Israel call synagogue is called masgid (place of worship).

The synagogue is called masgid (place of worship), also bet maqdas (Holy house) or ṣalot bet (Prayer house).

Hebrew word סָגַד 5456. sagad 

 

סָגַד  to prostrate oneself (in worship).

So the Place of prostrate/worship from the Biblical Hebrew should be Masjid مسجد מִסְגָּד .   

מִ is just a prefix with the verb סָגַד .  That makes מִסְגָּד a noun.

Yes the  noun form מִסְגָּד is not in the Bible.  I do not speak Hebrew or Arabic.

 

  It is not “Modern Hebrew”.   It is Biblical Hebrew it is not used for “Mosque”.

 

It is used for Jewish place of worship.

Traditional Judaism regards the Holy of Holies as the place where the presence of ** you do not have permission to see this link **, the Kodesh Hakodashim is located in the center North-South but significantly to the West from an East–West perspective, with all the major courtyards and functional areas lying to its east.

The ** you do not have permission to see this link ** that it was pronounced out loud. According to Jewish tradition, the people prostrated themselves fully on the ground when it was said. According to the Talmud, the High Priest’s face upon exit from the Holy of Holies was radiant.

But “Mosque” is not a correct word (Biblical or Quranic).  It is not Arabic or Hebrew.  

In “Modern Hebrew” it may be use as “Muslim Place of worship”.

But in Biblical Hebrew it is used as Jewish (May be the Jews were Muslims) place of worship.
