qardôm
and for the axes
A hand-tool with a broad blade set at a right angle to a handle, used primarily for cutting or splitting wood. In biblical Hebrew, 'qardôm' refers specifically to a carpenter's or woodcutter's axe, as distinct from tools used exclusively for warfare or ceremonial purposes. Lexically, the term always designates an implement with a practical, utilitarian function rather than a weapon.
