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; the visible vapor or gases given off by a burning or smoldering substance. Word Origin: Derived from the base of κάπτω (kapto), meaning "to smoke" or "to burn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H6227 עָשָׁן (ashan): This Hebrew term is often translated as "smoke" and is used in similar contexts as καπνός, such as in descriptions of God's presence and judgment (e.g., Exodus 19:18, Isaiah 6:4). • H6999 קָטַר (qatar): While primarily meaning "to burn incense," this term is related to the concept of smoke as it pertains to offerings and the presence of God (e.g., Leviticus 16:13). In summary, καπνός in the New Testament serves as a powerful symbol of divine interaction with the world, representing both the prayers of the saints and the formidable presence of God's judgment. Its usage is deeply rooted in the rich imagery of the Old Testament, providing continuity and depth to its theological significance. Usage: The term καπνός is used in the New Testament to describe literal smoke, often in the context of destruction or divine judgment. It can also symbolize the presence of God or the prayers of the saints. Context: The Greek word καπνός appears in several key passages within the New Testament, often carrying significant symbolic meaning. In Revelation, καπνός is frequently associated with divine judgment and the presence of God. For instance, Revelation 8:4 states, "And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel." Here, καπνός symbolizes the prayers of the faithful ascending to God, indicating a connection between the earthly and the divine. In other contexts, καπνός is indicative of destruction and wrath. Revelation 9:2 describes a scene of judgment: "When he opened the abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the abyss." This imagery underscores the severity and totality of divine judgment, with καπνός serving as a harbinger of chaos and darkness. The use of καπνός in the New Testament often draws on Old Testament imagery, where smoke is associated with God's presence, as seen in the smoke that filled the temple in Isaiah 6:4. This connection reinforces the idea of smoke as both a symbol of divine presence and a tool of divine judgment.
