bridle, bit; instrument of control, used literally and metaphorically
The bridle was essential equipment for controlling animals, particularly donkeys and horses. Proverbs lists it alongside the whip and rod as tools for managing different kinds of stubbornness. The Psalms employ it as a metaphor for those who lack understanding, needing physical restraint like animals. Most striking is Isaiah's image of God putting his bridle in the lips of the Assyrian king—the arrogant invader will be controlled like a beast and turned back. One occurrence in 2 Samuel remains cryptic, possibly referring to control over a 'mother city.'
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The word appears in 2 Samuel 8:1 (twice, in an uncertain phrase about 'bridle of the mother city' or control/authority) representing metaphorical use. Multilingual glosses show both literal 'bridle' and metaphorical extensions (English 'bridle'/'mother-city', Spanish 'freno'/'metrópoli'), illustrating how the physical instrument of animal control became an image of political dominion. 2×
