What are Ropes?
        ROPES
        , 1 Kgs 20:31, and CORDS. Josh 2:15. The putting ropes upon the neck was significant of great earnestness and distress. The "cords of his sin," Prov 5:22, probably denotes the power of sinful habits. And in Isa 33:20 and Jer 10:20 allusion is made to the construction of a tent. The "silver cord," Eccl 12:6, is beautifully interpreted by Delitzsch as the soul, which holds the body in life, the "bowl" is the body, and the golden oil within it is the spirit. Zech 4:12.
