Strong's Lexicon purrazó: To be red, to glow Original Word: πυρράζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "πυρρός" (purrós), meaning "red" or "fiery." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar imagery is "אָדֹם" (adom), meaning "red" or "ruddy," which appears in contexts like the description of Esau (Genesis 25:25) and the red heifer (Numbers 19:2). Usage: The verb "purrázō" is used to describe the action of becoming red or glowing, often in the context of a fiery or burning appearance. It conveys the idea of something being inflamed or exhibiting a reddish hue, akin to the glow of fire or embers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the color red was often associated with fire, heat, and passion. The imagery of fire was prevalent in both secular and religious contexts, symbolizing purification, judgment, and divine presence. The concept of glowing or being inflamed was also metaphorically used to describe intense emotions or divine encounters.
