iron
| Root | ברזל (b-r-z-l) |
| Core Meanings | iron, hardness, strength, metal, rigidity |
| Semantic Range | literal iron as a metal; iron tools and weapons; figurative hardness or strength; metaphor for oppressive force or unyielding power |
| Conceptual Significance | Iron in the biblical text symbolizes strength, endurance, and often harsh domination (e.g., an "iron yoke"). In prophetic and apocalyptic contexts, it can represent powerful kingdoms or unbreakable force, underscoring themes of human might contrasted with divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular absolute (ANcmsa); corresponds to Hebrew בַּרְזֶל. Functions as a material noun without suffixes or construct relation in these occurrences. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a common masculine singular absolute in Aramaic, denoting the substance itself. The rendering "iron" preserves the material sense tied to the root ברזל, which consistently refers to the hard metal associated with strength and durability. |
