The Definition of the word Needle

Needle

Used only in the proverb, to pass through a needle's eye" (Matt. 19:24; Mark 10:25; Luke 18:25). Some interpret the "expression as referring to the side gate, close to the principal" "gate, usually called the "eye of a needle" in the East; but it" is rather to be taken literally. The Hebrew females were skilled in the use of the needle (Ex. 28:39; 26:36; Judg. 5:30).
