Strong's Lexicon masmer or mismer or masmerah or mismerah or masmerah: Nail, peg Original Word: מַסְמֵר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to pierce Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a nail or peg can be related to Greek terms like "ἥλος" (helos), which also means nail. Usage: The Hebrew word "masmer" and its variants refer to a nail or peg, typically made of metal or wood, used in construction or fastening objects. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
