Verse 34. Steel. The word so rendered in the authorised version, properly means "copper" (tfwxn) It is doubtful if the Hebrews were acquainted with the process of hardening iron into steel, for though the "northern iron" of Jeremiah 15:12 , has been supposed by some to be steel, this is by no means certain; it may have only been a superior sort of iron. William Lindsay Alexander, in "Kitto's Cyclopaedia."
Verse 34. The drawing of a mighty bow was a mark of great slaughter and skill.
Alexander Pope, 1688-1744 Translation of Homer.
