Berean Strong's Lexicon vav: Hook, peg Original Word: וָו Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root ו-ו-ו, which is related to the concept of a hook or peg. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "vav" as a hook, the concept of connection or linkage can be seen in Greek words like "σύνδεσμος" (syndesmos - G4886), meaning a bond or connection. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, the word "vav" primarily refers to a hook or peg used in the construction of the Tabernacle. These hooks were used to hang the curtains of the Tabernacle, playing a crucial role in its assembly and structure. The term is also used metaphorically to indicate connection or linkage, much like the function of a hook. Cultural and Historical Background: The Tabernacle, as described in the Book of Exodus, was a portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The construction of the Tabernacle was detailed and precise, with every element having symbolic significance. The "vav" or hooks were made of gold or bronze and were essential for holding the curtains that formed the walls and entrance of the Tabernacle. This reflects the importance of order and sanctity in worship practices of ancient Israel.
