Strong's Lexicon sarappah: Burning, fiery Original Word: סַרְעַפָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂרַף (saraph), meaning "to burn" or "to set on fire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of burning or fiery judgment is πυρός (pyros), Strong's Greek 4442, which is used in the New Testament to describe fire, both literal and metaphorical, such as in the context of divine judgment (e.g., Matthew 3:11-12). Usage: The term "sarappah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a burning or fiery condition, often associated with divine judgment or purification. It conveys the idea of intense heat or fire, which can be both destructive and purifying. The word is closely related to the concept of consuming fire, which is a frequent metaphor for God's holiness and judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fire was a powerful symbol of both destruction and purification. It was used in sacrificial rituals to consume offerings, symbolizing the presence and acceptance of God. The concept of fire as a divine tool is prevalent throughout the Old Testament, where it often signifies God's presence, judgment, and the refining of His people. The imagery of fire would have been a vivid reminder to the Israelites of God's power and holiness.
