Strong's Lexicon lehabah or lahebeth: Flame, blaze Original Word: לֶהָבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root לָהַב (lahab), which means "to blaze" or "to burn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4442 (πῦρ, pyr): Fire - G5395 (φλόξ, phlox): Flame Usage: The Hebrew word לֶהָבָה (lehabah) or לַהֶבֶת (lahebeth) primarily refers to a flame or blaze. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe literal flames of fire, as well as metaphorical uses to convey intensity, passion, or divine presence. The word captures the dynamic and consuming nature of fire, often symbolizing purification, judgment, or the presence of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, fire was a powerful symbol of both destruction and purification. It was used in religious rituals, sacrifices, and as a means of communication with the divine. The imagery of fire and flame is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting its significance in the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites. Fire was seen as a manifestation of God's power and holiness, as seen in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites (Exodus 13:21).
