SIBI-P1 H1270-06

for the iron

Rootברזל (b-r-z-l)
Core Meaningsiron, hardness, cutting metal, strength
Semantic Rangeiron as a metal; iron implement or tool (such as an axe-head); figuratively, strength, harshness, oppression, or enduring firmness.
Conceptual SignificanceIron in the Hebrew Bible signifies technological advancement, military strength, and at times oppression (e.g., "iron furnace"). It embodies durability and severity, shaping metaphors of strength and bondage in Israel’s narrative.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common masculine singular absolute (בַּרְזֶל).
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition לַ ("for/to the") prefixed to the masculine singular noun בַּרְזֶל ("iron"). Rendering it "for the iron" preserves the definite article, the singular masculine form, and the concrete sense of the metal associated with hardness and cutting strength.
