460 ShR press the beginning -- Rope:<br />

Ropes <strong>and</strong> cords were usually made of bark strips such as<br />

from the cedar or from the sinew (tendon) of an animal.<br />

The rope is made by twisting two fibers together. A single<br />

fiber is attached to a fixed point (top), <strong>and</strong> the two ends of<br />

the fiber are brought together. One fiber is twisted in a<br />

clockwise direction <strong>and</strong> wrapped over the other fiber in<br />

counter clockwise direction. The second fiber is then<br />

twisted in clockwise direction then wrapped around the<br />

first fiber in a counter clockwise direction. The process is<br />

repeated through the length of the rope. The twisting of<br />

the fibers in opposite directions causes the fibers to lock<br />

(press) onto each other making a stronger rope. The rope<br />

is used to tightly secure or support something, such as a<br />

load to a cart or the poles of the tent. A cord pulled tight<br />

is straight. One who is happy is one whose life is lived<br />

straightly. A relative as one from the same umbilical cord<br />

of the family. The blood relatives remain with the tent.<br />

The loosening of a cord around a load. A traveler may<br />

have a wagon pulled by a bull where the load on the cart<br />

is secured with a cord. A righteous one is one who is<br />

straight <strong>and</strong> firmly holds up truth just as the cord is<br />

straight <strong>and</strong> firmly holds the wall of the tent upright. A<br />

stringed musical instrument uses thin cords for making<br />

music.<br />
