SIBI-P1 `H5178-03`

the copper-metal

Root	נחשׁ (n-ḥ-sh)
Core Meanings	copper, bronze, metal, hardness, shining metal
Semantic Range	copper, bronze, brass (older English), objects made of bronze (utensils, altar furnishings, pillars), fetters or chains of bronze, figuratively baseness or hardness in contrast to gold and silver
Conceptual Significance	Copper/bronze was a primary metal of strength and utility in the biblical world, used extensively in the Tabernacle and Temple furnishings and in weapons and tools. It often symbolizes durability, judgment, strength, or inferiority when contrasted with precious metals like gold and silver.
Morphological Notes	Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. The dagesh in נ reflects assimilation of the article.
Rendering Rationale	The form הַנְּחֹשֶׁת is a feminine singular noun with the definite article, meaning "the copper/bronze." Rendering it as "the copper-metal" preserves the material sense rooted in נחשׁ while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the singular noun form.
