In the context of the ancient Near East, it was typically a tool for inscribing on clay tablets, papyrus, or parchment. The term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the act of writing, often with a focus on the permanence or significance of what is being inscribed.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, writing was a skill primarily associated with scribes and educated individuals. The stylus was an essential tool for recording important documents, legal contracts, and religious texts. Writing materials varied, including clay tablets, papyrus, and later, parchment. The act of writing was considered significant, as it was a means of preserving knowledge, laws, and divine revelations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a stylus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pen (2), stylus (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עֵט</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Jeremiah 8:8</sup> <font size="+1"><b>stylus</b></font> (√ dubious;
