Strong's Lexicon kebel: Rope, cord Original Word: כֶּבֶל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bind Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "kebel," the concept of binding or tying is present in Greek words such as δεσμός (desmos - G1199), which means bond or chain, and σχοινίον (schoinion - G4979), meaning a small rope or cord. Usage: The Hebrew word "kebel" primarily refers to a physical rope or cord used for binding or tying. It is often used in contexts where something is being secured or restrained. The term can also metaphorically imply the concept of being bound or restricted by circumstances or obligations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, ropes and cords were essential tools for daily life, used in agriculture, construction, and navigation. They were made from various materials, including flax, hemp, and other plant fibers. The strength and durability of a rope were crucial for tasks such as securing tents, binding loads, or mooring boats. The imagery of a rope or cord often symbolized strength, unity, or bondage, depending on the context.
