Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'The terms τρῆμα, τρύπημα, and τρυμαλιά actually belong theoretically to a domain of openings, holes, and apertures, but since these terms in the NT are associated so closely with a needle, it seems far more satisfactory to treat them together with ῥαφίς and βελόνη needle ({D:6.215}).'}
