Strong's Lexicon lahat: To burn, blaze, set on fire, inflame Original Word: לָהַט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: lahat Pronunciation: lah-hat Phonetic Spelling: (law-hat') Definition: To burn, blaze, set on fire, inflame Meaning: to lick, to blaze Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "lahat," the concept of fire and burning is often represented by the Greek word "πῦρ" (pur), Strong's Greek #4442. Usage: The Hebrew verb "lahat" primarily conveys the idea of burning or blazing. It is often used to describe the action of setting something on fire or the state of being inflamed. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to literal fire or metaphorically to describe intense emotions or divine actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a powerful symbol of both destruction and purification. It was used in sacrificial rituals, as a means of judgment, and as a representation of God's presence and power. The concept of fire as a divine tool is prevalent throughout the Old Testament, reflecting the ancient Near Eastern understanding of fire as both a natural and supernatural force.
