'Thread' in the Bible

that I would not take anything that is yours, from a thread to a sandal strap, so you could not say, ‘I [the King of Sodom] have made Abram rich.’

And when she was in labor, one [baby] put out his hand, and the midwife took his hand and tied a scarlet thread on it, saying, “This one was born first.”

Afterward his brother who had the scarlet [thread] on his hand was born and was named Zerah (brightness).

So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And the men lying in ambush were in the inner room. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like [sewing] thread.

“Your lips are like a ribbon of scarlet,And your mouth is lovely.Your temples are like a slice of the pomegranateBehind your veil.
