Copper:
(Heb. nechosheth) in the Authorized Version always rendered "brass," except in Ezra 8:27 and Jeremiah 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 (Exodus 38:8) and even of copper arms, as helmets, spears, etc (1 Samuel 17:5-6; 17:38; 2 Samuel 21:16).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
