STEEL.—See Mining and Metals.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Jer_15:12. Rather copper, which being mixed with "iron" by the Chalybes near the Euxine Pontus formed the hardest metal, "the northern iron and the steel." "Shall (ordinary) iron break" this? No more can the Jews break the hardier Chaldees of the N. So in Job_20:24; Psa_18:34, translated "brass" or "copper." Bronze was anciently used for strengthening arms.

Steel. In all cases where the word "steel" occurs in the Authorized Version, the true rendering of the Hebrew is "copper." Whether the ancient Hebrews were acquainted with steel is not perfectly certain. It has been inferred from a passage in Jer_15:12, that the "iron from the north" there spoken of denoted a superior kind of metal, hardened in an unusual manner, like the steel obtained from the Chalybes of the Pontus, the iron smiths of the ancient world.
The hardening of iron for cutting instruments was practiced in Pontus, Lydia and Laconia. There is, however, a word in Hebrew, paldah, which occurs only in Nah_2:3, and is there rendered "torches," but which most probably denotes steel or hardened iron, and refers to the flashing scythes of the Assyrian chariots. Steel appears to have been known to the Egyptians. The steel weapons in the tomb of Rameses III, says Wilkinson, were painted blue, while the bronze weapons were painted red.
