What is a Nail?
NAIL
1. of the finger - The direction, Deut 21:12, in regard to the treatment of the captive woman's nails is translated in the text of the A.V. "pare her nails;" in the margin, "suffer to grow." The text is probably correct, as the general intention of the treatment was to make her lay aside all belonging to her condition as an alien. 1. Of a tent or house. - Two Hebrew words are thus translated: (1.) The tent-peg or pin, likewise a stake. Isa 22:25; 2 Chr 33:20; Ex 27:19. That which fastened the cloth in the loom was called a pin. Jud 16:14. The word, metaphorically, is that which gives support or keeps together - e.g., the prince. Zech 10:4. (2.) A nail of iron, 1 Chr 22:3, or of gold. 2 Chr 3:9.
