Anyone speak fluent Hebrew?

כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל

I know that it refers to the Iron Dome. But is that a literal translation?

Thanks.

No, but I do enjoy eating a Hebrew National Kosher Hot Dog when I go to Costco.

Sorry, couldn’t resist...

כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל It does, in fact, say Iron Dome.

“Keefat Barzal,” or “Parasol of Thailand.”

Barzel means literally iron. It is one of the 5 PRINCIPLES of the JDL.
I Ahavat Yisroel – Love of Jewry
II Hadar – Dignity and Pride
III Barzel – Iron
IV Mishmaat – Discipline and Unity
V Bitachon – Faith in the Indestructability of the Jewish People.

The translation is Iron Dome.

“Kipa” can mean: covering, yamulka, dome, cupola.

“Barzel” can mean: metal, steel, iron.

So Iron Dome is appropriate.

The reason I asked is because in the Book of Mormon there is mention of people that dwelt under a dome.

Supposedly it was part of a vision that some one experienced wherein there were also mentions of iron.

Chapter and verse, please?
