Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "pyrrhós," the concept of red or fiery colors can be related to Hebrew words such as אָדוֹם (adom, Strong's Hebrew 122), meaning "red," and אֵשׁ (esh, Strong's Hebrew 784), meaning "fire." These terms similarly convey themes of intensity, passion, and divine action, often appearing in contexts of judgment or significant events in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The word "pyrrhós" is used in the New Testament to describe a vivid red color, often associated with fire or blood. It appears in contexts that convey imagery of intense color and symbolism. Context: The Greek adjective "pyrrhós" is notably used in the Book of Revelation, a text rich with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery. In Revelation 6:4, the term describes a "fiery red" horse, one of the four horses of the Apocalypse. The passage reads: "Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword" (BSB). The color red in this context symbolizes war, bloodshed, and conflict, aligning with the rider's role in bringing strife and violence to the world. The vivid imagery of the "fiery red" horse serves to emphasize the destructive power and chaos unleashed during the end times.
