flint (חלמישׁ, ḥallāmı̄sh (Deu_8:15; Deu_32:13; Job_28:9; Psa_114:8), צר, cōr (Exo_4:25; Eze_3:9), צר, cēr (Isa_5:28), צוּר, cūr (Job_22:24; Psa_89:43), צרים, curı̄m (Jos_5:2 f); κόχλαξ (= κάχληξ, káchlēx ?pebble?), kóchlax (1 Macc 10:73)): The word ḥallāmı̄sh signifies a hard stone, though not certainly flint, and is used as a figure for hardness in Isa_50:7, ?Therefore have I set my face like a flint.? A similar use of cōr is found in Eze_3:9, ?As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead,? and Isa_5:28, ?Their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint?; and of ṣela‛ in Jer_5:3, ?They have made their faces harder than a rock.? The same three words are used of the rock from which Moses drew water in the wilderness: ḥallāmı̄sh (Deu_8:15; Psa_114:8); cūr (Exo_17:6; Deu_8:15; Psa_78:20; Isa_48:21); ṣela‛ (Num_20:8; Neh_9:15; Psa_78:16). Cūr and ṣela‛ are used oftener than ḥallāmı̄sh for great rocks and cliffs, but cūr is used also for flint knives in Exo_4:25, ?Then Zipporah took a flint (the King James Version ?sharp stone?), and cut off the foreskin of her son,? and in Jos_5:2 f, ?Yahweh said unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint (the King James Version ?sharp knives?), and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.? Surgical implements of flint were used by the ancient Egyptians, and numerous flint chippings with occasional flint implements are found associated with the remains of early man in Syria and Palestine. Flint and the allied mineral, chert, are found in great abundance in the limestone rocks of Syria, Palestine and Egypt. See ROCK.

Deu_8:15 (b) The flint rock is probably the hardest of all the rocks. By this picture the Lord is telling us that He is able to bring great blessing to us out of impossible situations. He often brings deliverance from sources that we never thought of. He is able to use strange circumstances and unknown assets to bring to us the relief that we need. (See Deu_32:13; Psa_114:8).
Isa_50:7 (a) By this term the Lord is telling us of His determination to go to the limit for our salvation and our blessing. Nothing would swerve Him from this purpose.

Flint
(חִלָּמִושׁ, challassish', from its smoothness, Psa_104:8; Isa_50:7; "rock," Job_28:9; frequently with the accompaniment צוּר, a rock, Deu_8:15; Deu_32:13; once for צרitself, Eze_3:9; "sharp stone," Exo_4:25), 'any hard stone, especially of a silicious character, as quartz or granite; but in mineralogical science it is applied only to silicious nodules. In the three passages first cited above the reference is to God's bringing water and oil out of the naturally barren rocks of the wilderness for the sake of his people. In Isaiah the word is used metaphorically to signify the firmness of the prophet is resistance to his persecutors. So also in, Isa_5:28 we have like flsnt, in reference to the hoofs of horses. In 1 Mace. 10:73, κόχλαξ is translated flint, and in Wis_11:4 the expression ἐκ πέτρας ἀκροτόμου is adopted from Deu_8:15 (Sept.). SEE ROCK. 'Flints abound in nearly' all the plains and valleys through which the Hebrews marched during thee forty years of wandering.' In the northward desert, low hills' of chalk occur, as well as frequent tracts of chalky soil, for the most part overspread with flints. In the western desert Burckheardt saw some large pieces of flint perfectly oval three to four feet in length, and about a foot and a half in breadth. This desert presents to the traveller's view its immense expanse of dreary country, covered with black flints, with here and there some hilly chains rising fromthe plain. SEE DESERT.
