Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yaqad," the concept of burning or kindling can be related to Greek words such as πυρόω (puroō - to burn) and καίω (kaiō - to set on fire).

Usage: The Hebrew verb "yaqad" primarily means to burn or kindle a fire. It is used in the context of igniting or maintaining a flame, often with a focus on the act of kindling or setting something on fire. The term can be used both literally, in the sense of lighting a physical fire, and metaphorically, to describe the burning of emotions or divine wrath.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fire was an essential element for daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices. The act of kindling a fire was a common and necessary task. In a religious context, fire often symbolized the presence of God, purification, and judgment. The Israelites were familiar with the use of fire in sacrificial rituals, where it represented the consuming power of God and His acceptance of offerings.
