However, Greek terms related to iron or tools in general might be considered in broader studies of biblical implements and materials. Usage: The term פְלָדָה (pĕladah) is used in the context of describing a tool or implement made of iron, specifically a cleaver or a piece of iron armature. It is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specialized or specific type of iron tool. Context: פְלָדָה (pĕladah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term for a cleaver or iron armature, suggesting a tool of significant strength and durability. The word is derived from a root that implies hardness or strength, which is fitting for a tool made of iron. In ancient times, iron was a valuable and durable material, often used for making tools and weapons. The use of פְלָדָה in the biblical text underscores the importance of iron implements in daily life and warfare. The specific mention of a cleaver indicates a tool used for cutting or splitting, possibly in agricultural or culinary contexts. The rarity of the term in the biblical text suggests it may have been a specialized tool, not commonly referenced in broader narratives.
