In the biblical context, it often symbolizes strength, stability, and permanence. The term is used both literally, in the context of building and construction, and metaphorically, to convey ideas of security and steadfastness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, nails were essential components in construction, used to join pieces of wood or other materials. They were typically made of iron or bronze. The use of nails in construction is indicative of the technological advancements of the time. Metaphorically, nails were seen as symbols of reliability and strength, often used in prophetic and poetic literature to convey messages of security and permanence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/5568.htm">samar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a nail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>nails (5).<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">מַסְמֵר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ecclesiastes 12:11</sup> <font size="+1"><b>nail</b></font> (connection with above √ dubious;
