These hooks were used to hang the curtains of the Tabernacle, playing a crucial role in its assembly and structure. The term is also used metaphorically to indicate connection or linkage, much like the function of a hook.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Tabernacle, as described in the Book of Exodus, was a portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The construction of the Tabernacle was detailed and precise, with every element having symbolic significance. The "vav" or hooks were made of gold or bronze and were essential for holding the curtains that formed the walls and entrance of the Tabernacle. This reflects the importance of order and sanctity in worship practices of ancient Israel.<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 hook, pin, peg<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hooks (13).<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">וָו</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hook, pin</b></font> or <font size="+1"><b>peg</b></font> (etymology unknown) — plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">וָוִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/38-28.htm">Exodus 38:28</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">וָוֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/27-10.htm">Exodus 27:10</a> 5t.; <font class="hebrew2">וָיֵיהֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/26-32.htm">Exodus 26:32</a> 5t.; — only P, in description of tabernacle <a href="/interlinear/exodus/26-32.htm">Exodus 26:32,37</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/27-10.htm">Exodus 27:10</a>,11,17; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/36-36.htm">Exodus 36:36,38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/38-10.htm">Exodus 38:10</a>,11,12,17,19,28, the <em>hooks</em> or <em>pegs</em> of gold and silver, fastened on, or in, the posts of the tabernacle, to support the various hangings (curtains, screens, etc.) <p><font class="hebrew2">וזר</font> (√ of following; compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb025502.gif"> <em>bear a burden</em>, or <img src="/bdbgif/bdb025503.gif"> <em>be guilty</em>, yet see Fl in De <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/21-8.htm">Proverbs 21:8</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>hook <p>Probably a hook (the name of the sixth Heb.
