Nail
        1. Of finger. (a) A nail or claw of man or animal. (b) A point or style e.g. for writing; see Jer 17:1
        2. (a) A nail, Isa 11:7 a stake, Isa 33:20 also a tent-peg. Tent-pegs were usually of wood and of large size; but some times, as was the case with those used to fasten the curtains of the tabernacle of metal. Ex 27:19; 38:20 (b) A nail, primarily a point. We are told that David prepared iron for the nails to be used in the temple; and as the holy of holies was plated with gold, the nails for fastening the plates were probably of gold.
