Rope
rop: Used in the Old Testament for , hebhel, that which binds (2Sa 17:13, etc.), and for , abhoth, that which is woven (Jdg 15:13, etc.). In neither word is any specified thickness or strength connoted, and hebhel is translated equally well by line (2Sa 8:2, etc.) or cord (Jos 2:15, etc.), and abhoth by cord (Psa 118:27, etc.), as best suits the context. Similarly in the New Testament the word , schoinon, literally, made of rushes can mean the rope by which a boat is fastened (Act 27:32) or small cords suitable for a whip (Joh 2:15). The usual material for ropes was certainly flax (hemp), but the Egyptians, and so possibly the Hebrews, at times made ropes of leathern thongs. See CORD; LINE; SHIPS AND BOATS, III., 2.
