“Brass” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
An alloy of copper and zinc, not known to the Jews. The brass of Scripture was probably copper, or a copper alloy (Gen. 4:22; Deut. 8:9; Judg. 16:21; 2 Kings 25:7; 1 Sam. 17:5; Job 28:2; 1 Cor. 13:1).
“Fetters” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(shackles). Instruments of brass or iron for fastening feet of prisoners (Psa. 105:18; 149:8).
“Steel” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
Hebrews were not acquainted with carbonized iron, or steel
Wherever the word is found in Scripture, copper is meant (Psa. 18:34).
“Brass” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
As “brass” is a compound, it is probable that copper is the metal often alluded to in scripture. See Deuteronomy 8:9. In some cases it may be “bronze,” as it is known that this was in use in ancient Egypt. The Hebrew word nechosheth is translated “copper” in Ezra 8:27, where it is said to be “precious as gold.” Brass is used as a symbol for righteousness according to the claims of God upon man, as in the brazen altar; the Lord as seen in the vision in the Revelation has feet like fine brass, “burning as in a furnace:” that is, righteous judgment according to responsibility (Rev. 1:15; Rev. 2:18).
