, Ethiopic

(so also Old Ethiopic DHM^{Epigr.Denkm.aus Abess.(1894),52}); WMM^{As.u.Eur.127 cites Egyptian} teµ(µ)ost, copper (= * tenµost), as loan-word from נְחשֶׁת + feminine article); — ׳נ absolute Genesis 4:22 +; construct Exodus 38:29; suffix נְחֻשְׁתִּי Lamentations 3:7, נְחֻשְׁתֵךְ Ezekiel 16:36, נְחֻשְׁתָּהּ Ezekiel 24:11, נְחֻשְׁתָּם 2 Kings 25:13 2t.; dual נְחֻשְׁתַּ֫יִם Judges 16:21 6t.; —

1 copper, as ore Deuteronomy 8:9, compare Zechariah 6:8; worked by artificer Genesis 4:22 (J) 1 Kings 7:14 (twice in verse); 2 Chronicles 24:12; material — doubtless hardened with alloy, probably tin, making bronze, compare Now^{Archaeology i. 243} Benz^{Archaeology 214} — of armour 1 Samuel 17:5,6; 1 Kings 14:27, utensils 2 Kings 25:14 = Jeremiah 52:18; Leviticus 6:21; Numbers 17:4 + very often, altar 2 Kings 16:14,15; Exodus 38:30; Exodus 39:39, etc., and other objects Numbers 21:9 (twice in verse) (JE), 2 Kings 18:4; 1 Kings 4:13; 1 Kings 7:15 ff. +, especially in description of tabernacle and temple; cast 1 Kings 7:14; polished מְמֹרָט 1 Kings 7:45, מָרוּק 2 Chronicles 4:16 (compare Leviticus 6:21); and shining מֻצְהָב Ezra 8:27. On קָלָל׳נ Ezekiel 1:7; Daniel 10:6 see קלל; ׳נ as spoil of war 2 Samuel 8:8; 2 Kings 25:13 = Jeremiah 52:17,20 etc.

2 fetters of copper or bronze, usually dual Judges 16:21; 2 Samuel 3:34; 2 Kings 25:7 = Jeremiah 39:7; Jeremiah 52:11; 2 Chronicles 36:6, also 2 Chronicles 33:11; singular only Lamentations 3:7 (figurative of oppression).
