אֵיל בַּרְזֶל

Definition (Hebrew)

קוֹרַת בַּרְזֶל מְיֻחֶדֶת שֶׁהִשְׁתַּמְּשׁוּ בָּהּ בִּימֵי קֶדֶם לְנִפּוּץ דְּלָתוֹת אוֹ חוֹמוֹת. הַדִּמּוּי שֶׁל הַקּוֹרָה הוּא לְקַרְנֵי הָאַיִל הַחֲזָקוֹת.

("וְשִׂים עָלֶיהָ כָּרִים סָבִיב - נְגִידִים וְשָׂרֵי חַיָּלוֹת וַאֲדוֹנִי אָבִי זַ"ל פֵּרֵשׁ כָּרִים כְּבָשִׂים כְּמוֹ עִם חֲלֵב כָּרִים וְהַדּוֹמִים לוֹ, וְהוּא שֶׁעוֹשִׂין אֵילֵי בַּרְזֶל לְנַגֵּחַ הַחוֹמָה"- רָדָ"ק יְחֶזְקֵאל ד ב)
