Strong's Lexicon phruganon: Stick, brushwood, kindling Original Word: φρύγανον Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to roast" or "to parch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "phruganon," the concept of gathering sticks for fire can be related to Hebrew words like "עֵצִים" (etsim), meaning "wood" or "sticks," as seen in passages like 1 Kings 17:10-12. Usage: The term "phruganon" refers to small sticks or brushwood used primarily for kindling a fire. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the materials gathered for making a fire. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, gathering sticks or brushwood was a common task, especially for lighting fires for cooking or warmth. This practice was essential for daily life, as wood was the primary fuel source. The act of gathering such materials was often associated with servitude or humble tasks, typically performed by those of lower social status or by women and children.
