שמות, פרק ל״ה, פסוק י״ח

The construction of the Tabernacle and its surrounding courtyard relied on large fabric curtains that needed to remain firm and steady. To protect the overall structure and keep it stable, specific practical tools were essential.

Heavy pegs were driven directly into the ground. The edges of the curtains were then tied to these grounded pegs, ensuring that the fabrics stayed perfectly in place and were prevented from blowing in the wind. The cords accompanying these pegs were simply the ropes used to secure the curtains firmly to the earth [רש״י, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
