be.dil names a metal listed with silver, bronze, iron, and lead, used in trade, refining imagery, and a “tin stone.”

The occurrences present be.dil as a metal named alongside silver, bronze, iron, and lead: it appears in lists of materials, in commercial exchange, and in furnace-and-refining imagery. Zechariah 4:10 also places it in the expression rendered “the tin stone” in Zerubbabel’s hand.

   The singular absolute form occurs in lists of metals in Numbers 31:22 and Ezekiel 27:12; in the latter, the APB renders the trading goods as “silver, iron, tin, and lead.” In Ezekiel 22:18 and Ezekiel 22:20, it is named with bronze, iron, and lead in the furnace imagery, while Isaiah 1:25 uses the plural construct form in the clause the APB renders “remove all your tin.” Zechariah 4:10 uses the singular absolute form in the expression rendered “the tin stone” in Zerubbabel’s hand.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the material lists and furnace passages, the APB presents the term as “tin,” including the plural expression in Isaiah 1:25. In Zechariah 4:10 it renders the larger expression “the tin stone”; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
