A tree roughly trimmed serving as support of the flat roof of an Eastern house (2Ki_6:2; 2Ki_6:5, Ezr_6:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] , Mat_7:3 ff., Luk_6:41 f.), or more elaborately dressed (2Ch_34:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] , Son_1:17) and gilded (2Ch_3:7).

bēm: The word is used to translate various Old Testament terms:
(1) גּב, gēbh (1Ki_6:9), צלע, cēlā‛, ?a rib? (1Ki_7:3), קוּרה, ḳūrāh (2Ch_3:7; 2Ch_34:11; Son_1:17), all refer to constructional beams used in buildings for roofing and upper floors, main beams being carried on pillars generally of wood. The last term is used in 2Ki_6:2, 2Ki_6:5 (?as one was felling a beam?) of trees which were being cut into logs. A related form is קרה, ḳārāh (used of the Creator, Psa_104:3; of building, Neh_2:8; Neh_3:3, Neh_3:6). Yet another term, כּפים, kāphı̄m, is used in Hab_2:11 : ?The stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it? - a protest against sin made by inanimate things. The Douay version, in translating, ?the timber that is between the joints of the building,? suggests the use of bond timbers in buildings, similar to that used at one time in English brickwork. It probably refers to its use in mud brick buildings, although bond timbers might also be used in badly built stone walls. The Arabs of the present day use steel joints to strengthen angles of buildings.
(2) Beam, in weaving, represents two words, ארג, 'eregh (Jdg_16:14, the beam of a loom to which Samson's hair was fastened; used in Job_7:6 of a weaver's shuttle), and מנור, mānōr (1Sa_17:7; 2Sa_21:19; 1Ch_11:23; 1Ch_20:5), of a spear-staff.
(3) In the New Testament Jesus uses the word δοκός, dokós, ?a rafter,? in bidding the censorious person first cast the ?beam? out of his own eye before attempting to remove the ?mote? from another's eye (Mat_7:3; Luk_6:41, Luk_6:42). See ARCHITECTURE; HOUSE.

Mat_7:3 (a) This represents a great fault in the life of a person who is critical and faultfinding about some small error in the life of another. He does not see his own big fault, but he quickly sees the little fault in another. See also Luk_6:41-42.

Beam
the rendering in the Auth. Vers. of the following words: אֶרֶג, e'reg, a web, Jdg_16:14; shuttle,” Job_2:6; מָנוֹר, manor', a yoke, hence a weaver's frame, or its principal beam, 1Sa_17:7; 2Sa_21:19; 1Ch_11:23; 1Ch_20:5; גֵּב, geb, a board, 1Ki_6:9;
כָּפִיס, kaphis', a cross-beam or girder (Sept. κάνθαρος), Hab_2:11; צֵלָע, tsela', a rib, hence a joint, 1Ki_7:3; “board,” 6:15,16; “plank,” 6:15; קוּרָה, kurah', a cross-piece or rafter, 2Ki_6:2; 2Ki_6:5; 2Ch_3:7; Son_1:17; עָב, ab, a projecting step, or architectural ornament like a moulding, answering for a threshold, 1Ki_7:6; “thick plank,” Eze_41:25; כְּרֻתוֹת, keruthoth', hewed sticks of timber. 1Ki_6:36; 1Ki_7:2; 1Ki_7:12; קָרָה(in Piel), to fit beams, hence to frame, Neh_3:3; Neh_3:6; Psa_104:3; of no Hebrews word (being supplied in italics) in 1Ki_6:6; δοκός, a stick of wood for building purposes, Mat_7:3-5; Luk_6:41-42. In these last passages, Lightfoot shows that the expressions of our Lord were a common proverb among the Jews, having reference to the greater sins of one prone to censure the small faults of another. The “mote, κάρφος, may be understood as any very small dry particle, which, by lodging in the eye, causes distress and pain, and is here given as the emblem of lesser faults in opposition to a beam for the greater, as also in the parallel proverb, “Strain [out] a gnat and swallow a camel” (Mat_23:24).
