hammer, a tool for driving nails and pegs or striking with force
This word denotes a hammer, a tool used for driving nails, pegs, or striking objects. It appears in several contexts: Jael's weapon against Sisera (Judges 4:21), construction work on Solomon's temple (1 Kings 6:7), and idol-making (Isaiah 44:12, Jeremiah 10:4). The term is associated with forceful striking and craftsmanship. The Maccabee family name may derive from this word, meaning 'hammer'. Multilingual glosses consistently render this as 'hammer', reflecting its straightforward tool identity.
