Berean Strong's Lexicon teli: Weapon, specifically a sword or a quiver Original Word: תֵּלִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to hang up Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "teli," related concepts can be found in Greek terms such as "μάχαιρα" (machaira - G3162), meaning sword, and "φαρέτρα" (pharetra - G5117), meaning quiver. Usage: The Hebrew word "teli" is used to denote a weapon, often understood as a sword or a quiver. It conveys the idea of something that is hung or suspended, possibly referring to the way weapons were carried or stored. In the context of the Bible, it symbolizes readiness for battle or defense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, weapons were essential for survival and defense against enemies. The sword was a common weapon used by soldiers and warriors, often symbolizing power and authority. Quivers, which held arrows, were crucial for archers.
