Usage: The verb καυματίζω (kaumatizó) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of being scorched or burned by intense heat. It conveys the idea of suffering or being affected by extreme heat, often in a metaphorical sense to describe spiritual or physical affliction.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, intense heat was a common and powerful force, often associated with the sun's scorching rays. This imagery was familiar to the original audience, who lived in a climate where the sun's heat could be both life-giving and destructive. The concept of being scorched by heat was used metaphorically in biblical literature to describe divine judgment or severe trials.
