Original Word: κατακαίω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: katakaió
Pronunciation: kat-ak-ah'-yo
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ak-ah'-ee-o)
Definition: To burn up, consume by fire, utterly destroy by burning.
Meaning: I burn up, consume entirely.

Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and καίω (kaió, meaning "to burn").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8313 שָׂרַף (saraph): To burn, to set on fire.

- H1197 בָּעַר (ba'ar): To consume, to burn up.

Usage: The verb κατακαίω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of burning something completely or consuming it with fire. It often conveys a sense of total destruction or purification through fire. This term is used both in literal contexts, such as the burning of physical objects, and metaphorically, to describe divine judgment or purification.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient cultures, fire was a symbol of both destruction and purification. In the Jewish tradition, sacrifices were often burned as offerings to God, symbolizing the complete dedication and purification of the offering. The concept of fire as a purifying agent is also present in the New Testament, where it is associated with divine judgment and the refining of believers' faith.
