The word is often used in the context of weaponry, architecture, and agriculture within the biblical narrative.<br><br>1. <b>Weaponry</b>: The most common use of the term "shaft" in the Bible is in reference to arrows. In ancient warfare, arrows were a primary weapon, and the shaft was the long, straight part of the arrow that provided stability and direction. In <a href="/job/41-29.htm">Job 41:29</a> , the formidable nature of the Leviathan is described, stating, "A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the rattling of the lance." Here, the shaft of the lance is implied as part of the weaponry that is ineffective against such a creature. Similarly, in <a href="/psalms/7-13.htm">Psalm 7:13</a> , it is written, "He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire." The shaft of the arrow is an integral part of this imagery of divine judgment and warfare.<br><br>2. <b>Architecture</b>: In the context of architecture, a shaft can refer to the main part of a column. Columns were significant in ancient structures, including the temples and palaces mentioned in the Bible. While the Bible does not explicitly use the term "shaft" for columns, the concept is inherent in the descriptions of temple architecture, such as in the construction of Solomon's Temple. In <a href="/1_kings/7-15.htm">1 Kings 7:15</a> , it describes the two pillars made by Hiram: "He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference." The shaft of these pillars would have been the central, cylindrical part that provided support and aesthetic grandeur.<br><br>3. <b>Agriculture</b>: In agricultural terms, the shaft can refer to the stalk of grain. While the Bible does not directly use the term "shaft" for grain stalks, the imagery of grain and its processing is prevalent. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/17-5.htm">Isaiah 17:5</a> , it states, "It will be as when a reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as when one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim." The shaft, or stalk, is implied as part of the harvest process, where the grain is separated from the chaff.<br><br>4. <b>Symbolism</b>: The shaft, particularly in the form of arrows, is often used symbolically in the Bible to represent God's judgment or the swift execution of His will. In <a href="/habakkuk/3-11.htm">Habakkuk 3:11</a> , it is written, "Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear." Here, the shaft of the arrow is part of the imagery depicting God's powerful intervention in the world.<br><br>In summary, the term "shaft" in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing elements of warfare, architecture, and agriculture, each carrying its own symbolic and practical significance within the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
