Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of יָקַד in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often related to the concept of burning or kindling. One such Greek entry is Strong's G2545 • καίω (kaio), which means to burn or set on fire. This term is used in the New Testament in contexts such as the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, where the lamps are to be kept burning (Matthew 25:1-13), illustrating readiness and vigilance.

Usage: The verb יָקַד (yaqad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of burning or kindling a fire. It often conveys the idea of igniting or setting something ablaze, whether literally, as in the burning of wood or sacrifices, or metaphorically, as in the burning of anger or passion.

Context: יָקַד (yaqad) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in the sense of kindling or maintaining a fire. It is used in both literal and figurative senses. For example, in Isaiah 10:16, the term is used metaphorically to describe the burning of God's anger: "Therefore the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors, and under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame." Here, the imagery of fire is employed to convey the intensity and consuming nature of divine judgment.

In a more literal sense, יָקַד is used in passages related to the sacrificial system, where fire plays a crucial role in the offerings made to God. The act of kindling a fire for sacrifices is a recurring theme, emphasizing the importance of fire in the worship practices of ancient Israel.

The verb also appears in poetic and prophetic literature, where it often symbolizes purification, destruction, or divine presence. The burning bush encountered by Moses (though not directly using יָקַד) is an example of fire representing God's holy presence.
