Usage: The word לֶהָבָה (lehavah) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing the consuming and purifying nature of fire. It can also metaphorically describe the sharpness or brilliance of a weapon. Context: לֶהָבָה (lehavah) appears in several passages throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. In a literal sense, it describes the physical flame, as seen in passages like Isaiah 5:24, "Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the stubble and as dry grass sinks in the flame, so their roots will decay, and their flowers will blow away like dust." Here, the flame represents judgment and destruction.
