SIBI-P1 H5178-14
and in the bronze
| Root | נחשׁ (n-ḥ-sh) |
| Core Meanings | copper, bronze, shining metal, metallic hardness |
| Semantic Range | bronze, copper, objects made of bronze (tools, vessels, weapons), fetters or chains, figurative baseness in contrast to precious metals |
| Conceptual Significance | Bronze (נְחֹשֶׁת) was a common and durable metal in the ancient Near East, used for tools, weapons, and altar furnishings. In Scripture it can symbolize strength, endurance, judgment, or inferiority compared to gold and silver, depending on context. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + preposition ב with assimilated definite article (בַּ) + noun common feminine singular absolute נְחֹשֶׁת. The article is indicated by the doubling of the initial נ (dagesh forte). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וּבַנְּחֹשֶׁת consists of the conjunction ו ("and") plus the preposition ב with the definite article ("in the") attached to the feminine singular noun נְחֹשֶׁת ("bronze, copper"). The rendering "and in the bronze" preserves the definite article and the singular form, reflecting the specific material in view. |
