Berean Strong's Lexicon pathil: Cord, thread, string Original Word: פָּתִיל Word Origin: From the root verb פָּתַל (pathal), meaning "to twist" or "to twine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pathil," the concept of cords or threads can be related to Greek terms like σχοινίον (schoinion - G4979), meaning "rope" or "cord." Usage: The Hebrew word "pathil" refers to a twisted cord or thread. It is used in the context of items that are bound or tied together, often implying strength or unity through the intertwining of strands. The term can also denote a decorative or functional element in clothing or sacred objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cords and threads were essential for various practical and ceremonial purposes. They were used in the construction of garments, tents, and tabernacle furnishings. The twisting of threads into cords was a common practice, symbolizing strength and durability. In a religious context, cords could signify consecration or dedication, as seen in the priestly garments and other sacred items.
