ne.chash denotes bronze as a material, especially in image parts, material lists, and a beast’s claws.

The attested use identifies bronze as a material: it names parts of the image in Daniel 2:32, Daniel 2:35, Daniel 2:39, and Daniel 2:45; occurs in lists of materials associated with gods in Daniel 5:4 and Daniel 5:23; and describes the claws of the fourth beast in Daniel 7:19. In Daniel 4:12 and Daniel 4:20, the supplied APB wording does not make the term’s specific contribution discernible.
