Cord. The materials of which cord was made varied according to the strength required; the strongest rope was probably made of strips of camel hide, as still used by the Bedouins. The finer sorts were made of flax, Isaiah 19:9, and probably of reeds and rushes. In the New Testament, the term is applied to the whip which our Saviour made, John 2:15, and to the ropes of a ship. Acts 27:32.
