Context: The Hebrew word כֵּילַף (keilaph) appears in the context of tools or weapons used for heavy-duty tasks, such as breaking or striking. The term is indicative of an object designed for forceful impact, suggesting its use in both construction and combat scenarios. In ancient times, such tools were essential for various tasks, from building structures to engaging in warfare. The use of a club or sledge-hammer would have been common in a society where manual labor was prevalent, and the ability to manipulate and shape materials was crucial for survival and development. The word כֵּילַף reflects the practical and sometimes violent aspects of life in the biblical era, where tools served multiple purposes, including defense and construction.
