Bit:
the curb put into the mouths of horses to restrain them. The Hebrew word (metheg) so rendered in Psa 32:9 is elsewhere translated "bridle" (2Ki 19:28; Pro 26:3; Isa 37:29). Bits were generally made of bronze or iron, but sometimes also of gold or silver. In Jam 3:3 the Authorized Version translates the Greek word by "bits," but the Revised Version by "bridles."
Bit:
For BIT see BRIDLE
