(יָתֵד, Yathed), a Tent-Pin, spoken of the copper pegs driven into the ground to hold the cords of the court ( Exodus 27:19; Exodus 35:18; Exodus 38:20; Exodus 38:31; Exodus 39:40; Numbers 3:37; Numbers 4:32), or for any other purpose ( Judges 16:14; Ezekiel 15:3), being the same word elsewhere usually rendered "nail" ( Judges 4:21-22; v, 26; Ezra 9:8; Isaiah 22:22; Isaiah 22:25; Zechariah 10:4), occasionally "stake" ( Isaiah 33:20; Isaiah 54:2), once "paddle" ( Deuteronomy 23:13). (See Nail).
Pins, in the modern sense of the word, used for fastening the dress, were no doubt in use among the Hebrews, as we know they were among the Egyptians, but they were frequently made of bone or wood, and bore a considerable resemblance to skewers, as did those used even in England till a comparatively recent period. The forms of the Egyptian pins may be seen in the British Museum. "Pins and needles were among the articles of the toilet which have occasionally been found in the tombs. The former are frequently of considerable length, with large gold heads; and some, of a different form, tapering gradually to a point, merely bound with gold at the upper end, without any projecting head (seven or eight inches in length), appear to have been intended for arranging the plaits or curls of hair, like those used in England in the days of Elizabeth for nearly the same purpose" (Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. 2, 344). (See Crisping-Pin).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [5]
( יתד , yāthēdh , from yāthadh , "to drive in a peg"(?)): A cylindrical piece of wood or metal (e.g. brass, Exodus 27:19 ) such as that used by weavers in beating up the woof in the loom ( Judges 16:14 , where Delilah fastened Samson's hair with the "pin"); or as a peg for hanging ( Ezekiel 15:3; compare Isaiah 22:23 f; Ezra 9:8 ); or as a tent-pin, such as those used in the tabernacle ( Exodus 27:19; Exodus 35:18; Exodus 38:20 , Exodus 38:31; Exodus 39:40; Numbers 3:37; Numbers 4:32; Judges 4:21 , where the King James Version translates "nail," the Revised Version (British and American) "tent-pin"; compare Judges 5:26 , where Hebrew has the same word, English Versions of the Bible "nail").
