Berean Strong's Lexicon leach: Burning, Scorching Original Word: לֵאָח Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to burn or scorch. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "leach," the concept of burning or fervency can be related to Greek words such as πυρός (pyros - fire) and ζῆλος (zelos - zeal, fervor). Usage: The Hebrew word "leach" is used to describe a state of burning or scorching, often in a metaphorical sense. It can refer to intense heat or fervor, whether physical or emotional. In the context of the Bible, it may be used to describe fervent emotions or situations that are intense and consuming. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire and burning were often associated with purification, judgment, and the presence of God. The imagery of burning was used to convey both the destructive power of God's judgment and the purifying effect of His presence. Fire was a common element in sacrificial rituals, symbolizing the offering being consumed and accepted by God.
