SIBI-P1 H1270-01
in the iron
| Root | ברזל (b-r-z-l) |
| Core Meanings | iron, hardness, strength, cutting metal |
| Semantic Range | iron as a metal; iron tools or implements (e.g., axe head); material for weapons; figurative for strength, severity, endurance, or harsh oppression ("yoke of iron"). |
| Conceptual Significance | Iron represents strength, durability, and technological power in the biblical world, often symbolizing military might or oppressive force. As a material of tools and weapons, it can signify both human advancement and instruments of judgment or bondage. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article + masculine singular noun absolute בַּרְזֶל. No pronominal suffix; singular, masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּרְזֶל is masculine singular absolute meaning "iron." The morphology HRd/Ncmsa indicates a prefixed preposition בְּ with the definite article ("in the") attached to a masculine singular noun in the absolute state, hence "in the iron," preserving both definiteness and number. |
