STRONGS NT 2742: καύσων

καύσων, καύσωνος, ὁ;

1. burning heat of the sun: Matthew 20:12; Luke 12:55; James 1:11 (others refer all these passages to the next entry); (Isaiah 49:10; (Genesis 31:40 Alex.; cf. Judith 8:3); Sir. 18:16; Athen. 3, p. 73 b.).

2. Eurus, a very dry, hot, east wind, scorching and drying up everything; for קָדִים, Job 27:21; Hosea 12:1; ἄνεμος καύσων, Jeremiah 18:17; Ezekiel 17:10; Hosea 13:15: πνευαμ καύσων, Jonah 4:8 (cf. Hosea 12:1); (on this wind cf. Schleusner, Thesaurus ad Sept. iii., p. 297; Winers RWB (also BB. DD.) under the word ). Many suppose it to be referred to in James 1:11; yet the evils there mentioned are ascribed not to the καύσων, but to the ἥλιος.

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb καίω (kaiō), meaning "to burn" or "to set on fire."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καύσων, similar concepts of intense heat and burning can be found in Hebrew words such as חֹרֶב (choreb, Strong's H2721), meaning "heat" or "drought," and שָׁרַף (sharaph, Strong's H8313), meaning "to burn" or "to scorch." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe conditions of extreme heat and their effects, both physically and metaphorically.

Usage: The word καύσων is used in the New Testament to describe extreme heat conditions, often in a metaphorical sense to convey the idea of severe trials or judgments.

Context: • The term καύσων appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the intensity and discomfort of extreme heat. It is used to illustrate the severity of certain situations or divine judgments.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, καύσων is found in passages such as Matthew 20:12, where it describes the laborers enduring the "burden and scorching heat" of the day. This usage highlights the physical and metaphorical challenges faced by the laborers, emphasizing their endurance and the fairness of their reward.
• The concept of καύσων can also be seen in Revelation 7:16, where it is promised that those who are before the throne of God "will never again hunger, nor thirst, nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat." This passage uses καύσων to symbolize the relief and protection provided by God to His people, contrasting the trials of earthly life with the blessings of divine presence.
• The imagery of καύσων serves to remind readers of the trials and tribulations faced in life, while also pointing to the hope and comfort found in God's ultimate provision and care.
