Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4570 (σβέννυμι, sbennymi): To quench, extinguish Usage: The verb זָעַךְ (za'ak) is used in the context of extinguishing or putting out, often in relation to fire or light. Context: The Hebrew verb זָעַךְ (za'ak) is a primitive root that conveys the action of extinguishing or quenching. This term is used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of putting out a flame or light, symbolizing the cessation of life, hope, or divine presence. The imagery of extinguishing is powerful, often associated with judgment or the end of a particular era or condition. In the ancient Near Eastern context, fire and light were essential for survival and worship, making the act of extinguishing a significant and often negative action. The use of זָעַךְ in the Hebrew Scriptures underscores the seriousness of divine judgment or the removal of God's favor.
