It is a symbol of strength, power, and the ability to build or destroy. In biblical times, hammers were typically made of stone or metal and were essential in various trades, including carpentry and metalwork. Biblical References: 1. Construction and Craftsmanship: The hammer is first mentioned in the context of construction and craftsmanship. In the building of the tabernacle and later the temple, skilled artisans would have used hammers to shape and fit materials. Although the specific term "hammer" is not always used, the tool's function is implied in the work of craftsmen. For example, in the construction of the tabernacle, skilled workers were employed to create intricate designs and structures (<a href="/exodus/31-3.htm">Exodus 31:3-5</a>). 2. Symbol of Power and Judgment: The hammer is also used metaphorically in the Bible to represent power and judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/23-29.htm">Jeremiah 23:29</a>, the word of God is compared to a hammer: "Is not My word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that smashes a rock?" . Here, the hammer symbolizes the power of God's word to break down resistance and bring about transformation. 3. Idolatry and False Worship: In <a href="/isaiah/41-7.htm">Isaiah 41:7</a>, the hammer is mentioned in the context of idol-making: "The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer spurs on him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, 'It is good.' And he fastens it with nails, so that it will not totter" . This passage highlights the futility of idol worship, as the hammer is used to create objects that cannot stand on their own without human intervention. 4. Military Use: While not explicitly mentioned as a weapon, the hammer's destructive capability is alluded to in the context of warfare. In <a href="/judges/4-21.htm">Judges 4:21</a>, Jael uses a tent peg and a hammer to kill Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army: "But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer in her hand, and she went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died" . This act of deliverance underscores the hammer's role in executing divine justice. Cultural and Historical Context: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the hammer was a common tool used in various trades. Its presence in biblical narratives reflects its importance in daily life and its symbolic significance. The hammer's dual role as a tool for building and a weapon for destruction illustrates the broader biblical themes of creation and judgment. Theological Significance: The hammer's representation of God's word and judgment serves as a reminder of the transformative power of divine truth. It emphasizes the authority of Scripture to break down barriers and reshape lives. Additionally, the use of the hammer in idol-making contrasts the living God with lifeless idols, highlighting the futility of worshiping created things rather than the Creator. In summary, the hammer in the Bible is a multifaceted symbol that conveys themes of power, judgment, craftsmanship, and the contrast between true and false worship. Its presence in Scripture serves as a reminder of God's authority and the call to align with His purposes.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.)

This was properly a "mace," which is thus described by Rawlinson: "The Assyrian mace was a short, thin weapon, and must either have been made of a very tough wood or (and this is more probable) of metal. It had an ornamented head, which was sometimes very beautifully modelled, and generally a strap or string at the lower end by which it could be grasped with greater firmness." <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

From the context, the instrument mentioned was probably not a hammer. In <a href="/psalms/74-6.htm">Psalm 74:6</a>, kelaph, is better translated "axes," not "hammers."
