Exegesis
The conjunction u- plus nechoshet {וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת | u-ne-ḥō-šet} completes the triad of unyielding metals. The repetition of barzel intensifies the futility of breaking such hard metals, and the English rendering preserves this by repeating “iron” and using dashes for emphasis.
Root and etymology
נ־ח־שׁ

In context — Jeremiah 15:12
Can iron break iron from the north and bronze ?
