'Stakes' in the Bible

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts and observances;Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a undisturbed settlement,A tent which will not be taken down;Not one of its stakes will ever be pulled up,Nor any of its ropes be severed.

“Enlarge the site of your tent [to make room for more children];Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare them;Lengthen your tent ropesAnd make your pegs (stakes) firm [in the ground].

For a time [of siege] is coming when your enemies will put up a barricade [with pointed stakes] against you, and surround you [with armies] and hem you in on every side,
