Reference: Beam
Easton
occurs in the Authorized Version as the rendering of various Hebrew words. In 1Sa 17:7, it means a weaver's frame or principal beam; in Hab 2:11, a crossbeam or girder; 2Ki 6:2,5, a cross-piece or rafter of a house; 1Ki 7:6, an architectural ornament as a projecting step or moulding; Eze 41:25, a thick plank. In the New Testament the word occurs only in Mt 7:3-4,5, and Lu 6:41-42, where it means (Gr. dokos) a large piece of wood used for building purposes, as contrasted with "mote" (Gr. karphos), a small piece or mere splinter. "Mote" and "beam" became proverbial for little and great faults.
