1: δοκός

(Strong's #1385 — Noun Feminine — dokos — dok-os' )

"a beam," is perhaps etymologically connected with the root dek---, seen in the word dechomai, "to receive," "beams" being received at their ends into walls or pieces of timber. The Lord used it metaphorically, in contrast to a mote, "of a great fault, or vice," Matthew 7:3-5; Luke 6:41,42 .
