It is used in the context of items that are bound or tied together, often implying strength or unity through the intertwining of strands. The term can also denote a decorative or functional element in clothing or sacred objects.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, cords and threads were essential for various practical and ceremonial purposes. They were used in the construction of garments, tents, and tabernacle furnishings. The twisting of threads into cords was a common practice, symbolizing strength and durability. In a religious context, cords could signify consecration or dedication, as seen in the priestly garments and other sacred items.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
