They appear throughout the Scriptures, often representing strength, unity, bondage, or measurement. The Hebrew word for cord is "chebel," and the Greek equivalent is "schoinion." Practical Uses Cords were commonly used in everyday life for binding, fastening, and measuring. In the construction of the Tabernacle, cords were used to secure the tent and its coverings (<a href="/exodus/35-18.htm">Exodus 35:18</a>). They were also employed in agriculture, as seen in the binding of sheaves during harvest (<a href="/psalms/129-7.htm">Psalm 129:7</a>). Symbolic Significance Cords often carry symbolic meanings in the Bible. In <a href="/ecclesiastes/4-12.htm">Ecclesiastes 4:12</a>, the strength of unity is illustrated: "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." This verse highlights the strength found in unity and companionship. In the context of bondage, cords symbolize captivity and oppression. In <a href="/judges/15-13.htm">Judges 15:13</a>, Samson is bound with new ropes, which he miraculously breaks: "‘We will not kill you,’ they replied, ‘but we will tie you up securely and hand you over to them.’ So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock." This account demonstrates God's deliverance from physical and spiritual bondage. Cords in Prophecy and Wisdom Literature Cords are also used metaphorically in prophetic and wisdom literature. In <a href="/isaiah/5-18.htm">Isaiah 5:18</a>, cords symbolize the entanglement of sin: "Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes." This imagery warns against the deceitful nature of sin and its binding effects on the soul. In <a href="/proverbs/5-22.htm">Proverbs 5:22</a>, the consequences of wickedness are depicted as being ensnared by one's own actions: "The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him." This verse serves as a caution against the self-destructive nature of sin. Cords in the New Testament In the New Testament, cords are mentioned in the context of Jesus cleansing the temple. <a href="/john/2-15.htm">John 2:15</a> states, "So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables." Here, cords are used as an instrument of righteous indignation, emphasizing Jesus' authority and zeal for the purity of worship. Conclusion Throughout the Bible, cords serve as a multifaceted symbol, representing both physical and spiritual realities. They illustrate themes of strength, unity, bondage, and deliverance, providing rich imagery for understanding the human condition and God's redemptive work.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>CORDS, SMALLkordz (schoinion, the diminutive of schoinos, "a rush," hence, "a rope of rushes"): Translated "small cords" (<a href="/john/2-15.htm">John 2:15</a> the King James Version; the Revised Version (British and American) "cords").
