Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: The word פַרְזֶל is of Aramaic origin, used in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4603 (σιδηροῦς, sidērous): This Greek term means "iron" and is used in the New Testament to describe objects made of iron or metaphorically to denote strength.
• G4604 (σίδηρος, sidēros): Another Greek term for "iron," used similarly to denote the metal itself or metaphorically to convey ideas of strength and durability.

These Greek terms correspond to the Aramaic פַרְזֶל in their metaphorical and literal uses, highlighting the continuity of the symbolic use of iron across the biblical texts.

Usage: פַרְזֶל is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It appears in contexts describing materials, objects, or metaphorical uses related to strength and power.

Context: פַרְזֶל (parzel) is an Aramaic term for "iron," appearing in the biblical texts of Daniel and Ezra. In Daniel, iron is often used symbolically to represent strength and the oppressive power of empires. For instance, in Daniel 2:33, the legs of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream are made of iron, symbolizing the strength and might of the Roman Empire. Similarly, in Daniel 7:7, the fourth beast is described as having iron teeth, indicating its destructive power. In Ezra 6:11, the term is used in a decree concerning the punishment for altering a royal edict, where a beam of iron is mentioned as part of the execution method. The use of iron in these contexts underscores its association with strength, authority, and sometimes harshness or oppression.
