In the Bible, it is often used to describe objects made from this material, such as tools, weapons, and sacred items. The term is symbolic of strength, judgment, and endurance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, bronze was a valuable and widely used metal. It was employed in the construction of various items, from everyday tools to significant religious artifacts. The process of smelting and working with bronze was a skilled craft, and the metal's durability made it a symbol of strength and resilience. In the biblical context, bronze is often associated with judgment and purification, as seen in the construction of the bronze altar and the bronze serpent.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/5153.htm">nachush</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>copper, bronze<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bronze (9), copper (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נְחוּשָׁה</font> and (Leviticus 26:19; <a href="/interlinear/job/40-18.htm">Job 40:18</a>) <font class="hebrew2">נְחֻשָׁה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>copper, bronze</b></font> (only in poetry; compare I. <font class="hebrew2">נְחשֶׁת</font>); — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נ</font> always absolute; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>copper</em> produced from ore by melting <a href="/interlinear/job/28-2.htm">Job 28:2</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>copper</em>, doubtless hardened with alloy, = <em>bronze</em>, as material of bow <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/22-35.htm">2 Samuel 22:35</a> = <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-35.htm">Psalm 18:35</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/20-24.htm">Job 20:24</a>; gates <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/45-2.htm">Isaiah 45:2</a>; figurative of strength <a href="/interlinear/job/40-18.htm">Job 40:18</a> (bones of hippopotamus), compare <a href="/interlinear/job/41-19.htm">Job 41:19</a>, <a href="/interlinear/micah/4-13.htm">Micah 4:13</a> (hoofs of Zion); of obstinate brow <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/48-4.htm">Isaiah 48:4</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">גִּיד</font> <font class="hebrew2">בַּרְזֶל עָרְמֶּ֑ךָ</font>); unproductive earth <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/26-19.htm">Leviticus 26:19</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>brass, steel <p>Or nchushah {nekh-oo-shaw'}; feminine of <a href="/hebrew/5153.htm">nachuwsh</a>; copper -- brass, steel.
