It became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors. The wind carried them away and no place was found for them. The stone that struck the statue became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This was the dream! We will interpret it for the king. You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory. He gave the children of men, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens to your hand. He made you the ruler over them all! You are the head of gold.

IRON, ????; occurs first in Ge 4:22, and afterward frequently; and the Chaldee ????, in Da 2:33,41, and elsewhere often in that book; ???????, Re 18:12, and the adjectives, Ac 12:10; Re 2:27; 9:9; 12:5; 19:15; a well known and very serviceable metal. The knowledge of working it was very ancient, as appears from Ge 4:22. We do not, however, find that Moses made use of iron in the fabric of the tabernacle in the wilderness, or Solomon in any part of the temple at Jerusalem. Yet, from the manner in which the Jewish legislator speaks of iron, the metal, it appears, must have been in use in Egypt before his time. He celebrates the great hardness of it, Le 26:19; De 28:23,48; takes notice that the bedstead of Og, king of Bashan, was of iron, De 3:11; he speaks of mines of iron, De 8:9; and he compares the severity of the servitude of the Israelites in Egypt to the heat of a furnace for melting iron, De 4:20. We find, also, that swords, Nu 35:16, axes, De 19:5, and tools for cutting stones, De 27:5, were made of iron. By the "northern iron," Jer 15:12, we may probably understand the hardened iron, called in Greek ?????, from the Chalybes, a people bordering on the Euxine sea, and consequently lying on the north of Judea, by whom the art of tempering steel is said to have been discovered. Strabo speaks of this people by the name of Chalybes, but afterward Chaldaei; and mentions their iron mines. These, however, were a different people from the Chaldeans, who were united with the Babylonians.
