Nechusheta
was Nehushta
Nᵉchushtâʼ (proper noun): a personal name, feminine, meaning 'Nehushta.' The name is derived from the Hebrew root for 'copper' or 'bronze,' but as a personal name, its lexical usage refers exclusively to a specific Israelite woman in the Hebrew Bible. In context, the name may implicitly suggest 'bronze-worthy' or possess a quality associated with the material bronze, yet its use is that of a personal designation. The semantic range is thus limited to being a proper feminine name, not a common noun for the metal.
