Strong's Lexicon bedil: Tin Original Word: בְּדִיל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to separate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "bedil," the concept of purification and removal of impurities can be related to Greek words such as καθαρίζω (katharizō - Strong's G2511), meaning "to cleanse" or "to purify." Usage: The Hebrew word "bedil" refers to the metal tin. In the context of the Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe impurity or dross that needs to be removed during the refining process of metals. This reflects the broader biblical theme of purification and the removal of impurities from one's life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, tin was a valuable metal used in the creation of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. The process of refining metals was well-known in the ancient Near East, and the removal of dross was a common metaphor for purification. Tin's role in metallurgy made it a significant material in the development of tools and weapons, contributing to the advancement of ancient civilizations.
