Nail:
(1.) Of finger.
(a). A nail or claw of man or animal.
(b). A point or style e.g. for writing; (see Jeremiah 17:1).
(2.)(a). A nail (Isaiah 11:7) a stake (Isaiah 33:20) also a tent‐peg. Tent‐pegs were usually of wood and of large size; but some times, as was the case with those used to fasten the curtains of the tabernacle of metal (Exodus 27:19; 38:20).
(b). A nail, primarily a point. We are told that David prepared iron for the nails to be used in the temple; and as the holy of holies was plated with gold, the nails for fastening the plates were probably of gold.
