נָחוּשׁ

# Analysis of נָחוּשׁ (Nachush) The Hebrew word נָחוּשׁ (nachush) refers to bronze, a metal alloy. According to the lexical data provided, this term appears only once in the biblical text, which limits our ability to observe variation in its usage or contextual application across different scriptural passages. Because nachush occurs just a single time in the Bible, we cannot determine from the provided data whether the word carried specialized meanings, carried metaphorical significance, or was used in particular religious or technical contexts. The single occurrence prevents us from assessing whether the term was common, archaic, or reserved for specific narrative or poetic situations. Without additional usage examples, the lexicon data supports only the straightforward identification: nachush denotes the physical material bronze. For a general reader, the significance of this word lies primarily in its material identity rather than its textual frequency. Bronze held considerable importance in ancient Near Eastern societies and in biblical narrative as a durable metal suitable for tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects. However, the present lexical data provides no information about which of these applications appears in the single biblical instance where nachush is used.
