It is used in the context of something that binds or connects, often in a literal sense as a physical thread or cord. The term can also imply a measure of length or a means of connection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, threads and cords were essential for daily life, used in weaving, sewing, and construction. They symbolized connection and continuity, both physically and metaphorically. Threads were also used in religious contexts, such as the making of priestly garments and the construction of the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>thread, cord, line<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>circumference* (1), cord (1), line (1), thread (4).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חוּט</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Joshua 2:18</sup> <font size="+1"><b>thread, cord, line</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
