In the Bible, copper is often mentioned alongside other metals such as gold, silver, and iron, indicating its value and utility in ancient times. Biblical References and Usage Copper is first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/4-22.htm">Genesis 4:22</a>, where Tubal-Cain is described as "a forger of every implement of bronze and iron." The term "bronze" in many biblical translations is often understood to include copper, as bronze is an alloy primarily composed of copper and tin. This early reference highlights the metal's role in the development of tools and weapons. In the construction of the Tabernacle, copper was extensively used. <a href="/exodus/27.htm">Exodus 27:1-6</a> describes the altar of burnt offering, which was overlaid with bronze, indicating the use of copper in its composition. The laver, a basin for ceremonial washing, was also made of bronze (<a href="/exodus/30-18.htm">Exodus 30:18</a>). These items underscore copper's significance in religious rituals and its symbolic representation of strength and durability. The Temple of Solomon further illustrates the importance of copper. In <a href="/1_kings/7-13.htm">1 Kings 7:13-47</a>, Hiram of Tyre, a skilled craftsman, is commissioned to create various bronze items for the temple, including the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz, the Sea, and numerous utensils. The extensive use of copper in the temple's construction and furnishings reflects its esteemed status and practical applications. Symbolism and Metaphorical Use Copper, like other metals, is often used metaphorically in the Bible. In <a href="/deuteronomy/8-9.htm">Deuteronomy 8:9</a>, the Promised Land is described as "a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper." This description emphasizes the abundance and richness of the land God promised to the Israelites, symbolizing prosperity and divine blessing. In prophetic literature, copper is sometimes used to convey strength and judgment. For instance, in <a href="/ezekiel/1-7.htm">Ezekiel 1:7</a>, the feet of the living creatures are described as "gleaming like polished bronze," symbolizing their power and divine origin. Similarly, in <a href="/daniel/10-6.htm">Daniel 10:6</a>, the appearance of a heavenly being includes "arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze," again highlighting strength and majesty. Economic and Cultural Significance Copper's economic value in biblical times cannot be overstated. It was a crucial material for crafting tools, weapons, and various household items. The ability to work with copper and its alloys marked a significant technological advancement, contributing to the development of ancient societies. The trade of copper and bronze was also an important aspect of the ancient economy. Tyre, a prominent city known for its skilled artisans, played a key role in the production and distribution of bronze items, as seen in the collaboration between King Solomon and Hiram of Tyre. Conclusion Copper's presence in the Bible, both as a practical material and a symbol, reflects its integral role in the daily life and spiritual practices of ancient Israel. Its enduring qualities and versatility made it a valuable resource, while its metaphorical use in Scripture underscores themes of strength, judgment, and divine provision.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>CopperHeb. nechosheth , in the Authorized Version always rendered "brass," except in (<a href="/ezra/8-27.htm">Ezra 8:27</a>) and Jere 15:12 It was almost exclusively used by the ancients for common purposes, and for every kind of instrument, as chains, pillars, lavers and the other temple vessels. We read also of copper mirrors, (<a href="/exodus/38-8.htm">Exodus 38:8</a>) and even of copper arms, as helmets, spears, etc. (<a href="/1_samuel/17-5.htm">1 Samuel 17:5,6,38</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/21-16.htm">2 Samuel 21:16</a>)<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>CopperOne of the primitive metals, and the most ductile and malleable after gold and silver. Of this metal and zinc is made brass, which is a modern invention. There is little doubt but that copper is intended in those passages of our translation on the Bible which speak of brass. Copper was known prior to the flood, and was wrought by Tubal-cain, <a href="/genesis/4-22.htm">Genesis 4:22</a>. Hiram of Tyre was a celebrated worker in copper, <a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14</a>. Palestine abounded in it, De 8:9, and David amassed great quantities to be employed in building the temple, <a href="/context/1_chronicles/22-3.htm">1 Chronicles 22:3-14</a>. In <a href="/context/ezra/8-27.htm">Ezra 8:27</a>, two vessels are mentioned "of fine copper, precious as gold." This was probably a metal compounded of copper, with gold or silver, or both. It was extolled for its beauty, solidity, and rarity, and for some uses was referred to gold itself. Some compound of this kind may have been used for the small mirrors mentioned in <a href="/exodus/38-8.htm">Exodus 38:8</a> <a href="/job/37-18.htm">Job 37:18</a>.

The "bow of steel" (<a href="/job/20-24.htm">Job 20:24</a>; <a href="/psalms/18-34.htm">Psalm 18:34</a>) should have been "bow of copper" (or "brass, " as in the R.V.). The vessels of "fine copper" of <a href="/ezra/8-27.htm">Ezra 8:27</a> were probably similar to those of "bright brass" mentioned in <a href="/1_kings/7-45.htm">1 Kings 7:45</a>; <a href="/daniel/10-6.htm">Dan. 10:6</a>.Tubal-cain was the first artificer in brass and iron (<a href="/genesis/4-22.htm">Genesis 4:22</a>). Hiram was noted as a worker in brass (<a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14</a>).

In the American Standard Revised Version of this passage, "brass" has been substituted. Neither describes the actual alloy according to present definitions so well as the word "bronze." Copper was one of the earliest metals to be known and utilized in alloy, but copper, as a single metal, was probably little used. The remains of spears, balances, arms, vases, mirrors, statues, cooking utensils, implements of all kinds, etc., from Bible times are principally of an alloy of copper hardened with tin known today as bronze (see BRASS). In such passages as <a href="/deuteronomy/8-9.htm">Deuteronomy 8:9</a>, where reference is made to the native metal or ores, "copper" should be substituted for "brass" as in the American Standard Revised Version (compare <a href="/job/40-18.htm">Job 40:18</a>). This is true also of coins as chalkos, in <a href="/matthew/10-9.htm">Matthew 10:9</a>. Our modern English word "copper" is derived from an old name pertaining to the island of Cyprus. Copper was known to the ancients as Cyprian brass, probably because that island was one of the chief sources for this metal. The Sinai peninsula and the mountains of northern Syria also contributed to the ancient world's supply (see Tell el-Amarna Letters). No evidences of copper ore in any quantity are found in Palestine proper. See <a href="../m/metal.htm">METAL</a>; <a href="../m/mine.htm">MINE</a>. James A. Patch.

As the Bible word rendered "copper" (see <a href="/ezra/8-27.htm">Ezra 8:27</a> the King James Version) is translated "brass" by the Revised Version (British and American), so the word here rendered "c." should be rendered "brazier," or "worker in brass."
