A PEG, a tent-pin — the stake driven into the ground to hold a tent's cords. The word stands in nineteen verses of the Hebrew Bible, and its first seven, all in the Torah, are the pegs of the tabernacle and its court — bronze, Exodus 27:19 says of all of them: Exodus 27:19, 35:18, 38:20, 38:31, 39:40, Numbers 3:37 and 4:32 (all already on these pages). ⭐ The eighth is Deuteronomy 23:14, where the same word is a soldier's digging tool, carried among your gear to bury what he leaves outside the camp — the sanctuary's word reused for the least sanctified job in the book. ⚠ After the Torah it turns violent and then figurative: Jael drives one through Sisera's temple (Judges 4:21, and the song at 5:26); Samson's hair is woven to a loom's pin (Judges 16:14); Eliakim is fastened as a peg in a sure place and then the peg gives way (Isaiah 22:23, 25); and Ezra 9:8 calls the returned remnant a peg in his holy place, a foothold. None of those are yet on these pages. → first discussed at Deut 23:14
