Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "α-" (a-, meaning "not") and "σβέννυμι" (sbennymi, meaning "to quench" or "to extinguish").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of unquenchable fire in the Old Testament is often associated with divine judgment and is reflected in several Hebrew terms. While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to ἄσβεστος, similar ideas can be found in passages such as Isaiah 66:24, where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched, using the Hebrew word "כָּבָה" (kabah, Strong's H3518) for "quenched." Another related term is "אֵשׁ" (esh, Strong's H784), meaning "fire," which is used in contexts of divine judgment and purification. Usage: The term ἄσβεστος is used in the New Testament to describe something that cannot be extinguished or put out, often in the context of fire. Context: The Greek word ἄσβεστος appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of something that is perpetual and cannot be quenched. This term is most notably used in the context of divine judgment and the eternal nature of punishment. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἄσβεστος is used to describe the fire of Gehenna, a metaphor for the final judgment and the eternal consequences of sin.
