In the context of the New Testament, it is often associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where nails were used to affix Him to the cross.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, nails were commonly used in construction and carpentry. They were typically made of iron or bronze and varied in size depending on their intended use. The use of nails in crucifixion was a Roman practice, designed to prolong suffering and serve as a public deterrent. The mention of nails in the context of Jesus' crucifixion highlights the physical reality and brutality of His sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a nail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>nails (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2247: ἧλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἧλος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἠλου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">a nail</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/20-25.htm">John 20:25</a>.
