Strong's Lexicon thermé: Heat, warmth Original Word: θερμή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: thermé Pronunciation: ther-MAY Phonetic Spelling: (ther'-may) Definition: Heat, warmth Meaning: heat. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root θερμός (thermos), meaning "warm" or "hot." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thermé," the concept of warmth can be related to Hebrew words like חֹם (chom, Strong's H2527), meaning "heat" or "warmth." Usage: In the New Testament, "thermé" refers to physical warmth or heat. It is used to describe the warmth of a fire or the heat of the day. The term is often associated with comfort and necessity, as warmth was essential for survival and well-being in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, warmth was a crucial element of daily life. The climate could be harsh, with cold nights and seasons requiring the use of fire for heat. Fireplaces and communal fires were central to homes and gatherings, providing not only warmth but also a place for cooking and social interaction. The concept of warmth extended beyond physical comfort to symbolize hospitality and care.
