Strong's Lexicon bedil: Tin Original Word: בְּדִיל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: bdiyl Pronunciation: beh-DEEL Phonetic Spelling: (bed-eel') Definition: alloy, tin Meaning: Alloy, tin. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to separate. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G459: ἀθέμιτος (athemitos) • This Greek term, while not directly related to the concept of tin or alloy, is associated with unlawful or forbidden actions, which can metaphorically relate to the impurities or dross that need to be removed, as seen in the Hebrew usage of בְּדִיל. The connection lies in the broader theme of purification and the removal of what is deemed unacceptable or impure. Usage: The term בְּדִיל (b'dil) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to tin, often in the context of metallurgy and refining processes. It is mentioned in relation to the purification and refining of metals, symbolizing the removal of impurities. Context: בְּדִיל (b'dil) appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily in prophetic literature, where it is used metaphorically to describe the process of purification and judgment. The imagery of refining metals, including tin, is employed to illustrate the removal of impurities from the people of Israel, symbolizing spiritual purification and renewal. For instance, in Isaiah 1:25, the prophet speaks of God turning His hand against the people to "thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities." This metaphor highlights the divine intention to restore purity and righteousness among His people. In Ezekiel 22:18, the prophet compares the house of Israel to dross, including tin, in a furnace, emphasizing the need for divine intervention to cleanse and purify. The use of בְּדִיל in these contexts underscores the transformative power of God's judgment and the hope for redemption through purification.
