Usage: The Hebrew word "אוּר" (ur) primarily denotes "fire" or "light." It is used in the context of physical fire, such as that used for warmth, cooking, or sacrifice. It can also symbolize divine presence, judgment, or purification. In some contexts, "ur" is associated with the light of God's guidance or revelation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a central element in daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious rituals. It was also a symbol of God's presence, as seen in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites by night (Exodus 13:21). Fire was often associated with God's holiness and judgment, as well as His ability to purify and refine.
