This term appears in various Old Testament passages, such as Deuteronomy 4:20, where Israel is described as being brought out of the "iron furnace" of Egypt, symbolizing harsh oppression.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek adjective "σιδηροῦς" (sidérous) is used to describe something made of iron or having the qualities of iron. In the biblical context, it often symbolizes strength, durability, and sometimes oppression or harshness, reflecting the characteristics of iron as a metal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, iron was a valuable and strong metal used for various purposes, including tools, weapons, and construction. Its strength and durability made it a symbol of power and authority. The use of iron in biblical texts often conveys these attributes, reflecting the cultural significance of iron in the ancient world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4603.htm">sidéros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of iron<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>iron (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4604: σίδηρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σίδηρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σιδήρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">iron</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-12.htm">Revelation 18:12</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>iron. <p>Of uncertain derivation; iron -- iron. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>σίδηρον σίδηρος σιδηρου σιδήρου σιδήρω siderou sidērou sidḗrou<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/revelation/18-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Revelation 18:12</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Genitive Masculine Singular">N-GMS</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/revelation/18.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">χαλκοῦ καὶ <b>σιδήρου</b> καὶ μαρμάρου</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/revelation/18.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> wood and bronze <span class="itali">and iron</span> and marble,<br><a href="/kjvs/revelation/18.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of brass, and <span class="itali">iron,</span> and marble,<br><a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-12.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of brass and <span class="itali">of iron</span> and of marble<p><b><a href="/greek/4604.htm">Strong's Greek 4604</a><br><a href="/greek/strongs_4604.htm">1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/greek/side_rou_4604.htm">σιδήρου — 1 Occ.</a><br><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/4603.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4603"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4603" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/4605.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4605"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4605" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
