Strong's Lexicon kapnos: Smoke Original Word: καπνός Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: kapnos Pronunciation: kap-nos' Phonetic Spelling: (kap-nos') Definition: Smoke Meaning: smoke. Word Origin: Derived from the base of κάπτω (kapto), meaning "to smoke" or "to burn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6227 עָשָׁן (ashan) - Smoke - H7008 קְטֹרֶת (qetoreth) - Incense, smoke of sacrifice Usage: In the New Testament, "kapnos" is used to describe smoke, often symbolizing the presence of God, judgment, or destruction. It can represent the transient nature of earthly things, as smoke is fleeting and dissipates quickly. The imagery of smoke is also used to convey the idea of prayers rising to God, as seen in the context of incense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient cultures, including Jewish tradition, smoke was a significant symbol. It was associated with sacrificial offerings, where the smoke from burnt offerings was seen as a pleasing aroma to God. In the Greco-Roman world, smoke also had connotations of divine presence and communication with the gods. The imagery of smoke would have been familiar to early Christians, both from their Jewish heritage and the surrounding pagan culture.
