It can denote a physical object used for practical purposes, such as construction or agriculture, where cords were essential for measuring plots of land or securing structures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, cords and strings were vital tools in daily life. They were used in various trades, including tent-making, fishing, and farming. Cords were also symbolic in some contexts, representing measurement, boundaries, or even the binding of covenants. The use of cords in construction and agriculture reflects the agrarian society of ancient Israel, where land measurement and boundary setting were crucial for maintaining order and fairness.<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>a wrought metal rod<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bars (1).<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">מְטִיל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wrought-metal rod</b></font> (Aramaic (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font>) <font class="hebrew2">מְטָל</font>);
