that reminds of Isaiah somewhere: line upon line rule upon rule: 28:10. and your quote from Joshua is very interesting since this alludes very much to the idea of salvation rescue and ultimately hope both from rahab's view and the idea of salvation.

And not to forget the תקות חוט השני TIQWAT XUT HA-$ANIY, "the line of scarlet thread" of Jos. 2:18.

I suspect that the relationship to linen yarn comes by way of thinking about קוה QWH
as a form of קו QAW (related, methinks, to גב GAB, 'high'), 'line', as in 1Ki. 7:23.
A line is but a long piece of linen, a lint, from the latin linum, 'flax', or lana, 'wool'.

A soft string tautly stretched between two points makes a straight (namely, extending continuously in the same direction without curving) line.

Oh...that was an eye opener, I read a couple of other translations
and the King James is the only one to say linen yarn. Mmm, I wonder
how on earth those 17th century geniuses arrived at that then?
Thankyou Michael.
