Needle @ used only in the proverb, "to pass through a needle's eye" Matthew: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 Exodus:28:39Exodus:26:36; Judges:5:30).
