"Nail" and "through"

   I should surely think that nail describes a class of hardware that can be driven, fatally, into an unwary person's head, but that you must take a spike in order to drive it (i.e., its point) thru the same head.

The verse in Judges (5: 26) is pretty specific: "She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rithom (talkcontribs) 23:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
