Biblical References: The term "pin" is not directly mentioned in the Berean Standard Bible as a standalone word. However, the concept and use of pins can be inferred from various passages that describe items of clothing, construction, or tabernacle furnishings where pins or similar fasteners might have been used.

Cultural and Historical Context: In ancient times, pins were likely used in various practical applications, such as fastening garments, securing tents, or as part of the construction of the tabernacle. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey and subsequent settlement in the Promised Land, would have utilized such items in their daily lives and religious practices.

Possible Biblical Allusions:

1. Tabernacle Construction: In the construction of the tabernacle, various fasteners and supports were necessary to hold the structure together. While the Bible does not explicitly mention "pins," it does describe the use of "clasps" and "sockets" (Exodus 26:6, 19) which served similar purposes in securing the curtains and frames of the tabernacle.

2. Garments and Accessories: Pins may have been used in the making and wearing of garments. In the account of Jael and Sisera, a tent peg is famously used as a weapon (Judges 4:21), illustrating the dual use of such items in both domestic and extraordinary circumstances. While not a pin in the modern sense, it reflects the use of pointed objects in daily life.

3. Symbolic Uses: The concept of fastening or securing is often used metaphorically in the Bible. For example, Isaiah 22:23 speaks of a "peg" driven into a firm place, symbolizing stability and security. This imagery can be extended to the idea of a pin as something that holds or secures.

Theological Implications: The use of pins or similar fasteners in biblical times underscores the importance of order, stability, and preparedness in both physical and spiritual contexts. Just as pins hold garments or structures together, faith and adherence to God's commandments provide cohesion and strength to the believer's life.

Practical Applications: Understanding the historical and cultural use of pins in biblical times can enrich one's appreciation of the daily life and practices of ancient peoples. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of small, seemingly insignificant items in the grand narrative of God's interaction with humanity.

Conclusion: While the Bible does not explicitly mention "pins," their inferred presence in the text highlights the practical and symbolic roles such items played in biblical times. Through the lens of scripture, pins can be seen as tools that contribute to the order and function of both physical and spiritual life.1. (v. t.) To peen.

PIN

(yathedh, from yathadh, "to drive in a peg"(?)): A cylindrical piece of wood or metal (e.g. brass, Exodus 27:19) such as that used by weavers in beating up the woof in the loom (Judges 16:14, where Delilah fastened Samson's hair with the "pin"); or as a peg for hanging (Ezekiel 15:3; compare Isaiah 22:23 Ezra 9:8); or as a tent-pin, such as those used in the tabernacle (Exodus 27:19; Exodus 35:18; Exodus 38:20, 31; 39:40 Numbers 3:37; Numbers 4:32 Judges 4:21, where the King James Version translates "nail," the Revised Version (British and American) "tent-pin"; compare Judges 5:26, where Hebrew has the same word, English Versions of the Bible "nail"). The tent-pin, like that of today, was probably sharpened at one end (Judges 4:21) and so shaped at the other as to permit the attaching of the cords so frequently mentioned in the same connection (Exodus 35:18; Exodus 39:40 Numbers 3:37; Numbers 4:32; compare Isaiah 33:20). From the acts of driving in the tent-pin (Taqa`) and pulling it out (nasa') are derived the technical Hebrew terms for pitching a tent and for breaking camp.
