Usage: The Hebrew verb "chathah" primarily means to take or snatch, often with the connotation of gathering or collecting. It is used in contexts where something is being taken up or gathered, such as coals or fire. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a central element of daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices.
