Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּר (dur), which means "to heap up" or "to pile."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2749 (κεῖμαι, keimai): While not a direct translation, this Greek term can relate to the concept of being laid or set in place, similar to how a pile of fuel is arranged. In the New Testament, κεῖμαι is used in various contexts, including being appointed or destined, which can metaphorically align with the idea of a prepared pile awaiting its purpose. Usage: The term מְדוּרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a heap or pile of combustible material, typically for burning. It is often associated with the imagery of fire, which can symbolize judgment, purification, or destruction. Context: • The Hebrew word מְדוּרָה appears in the context of fire-related imagery, often symbolizing divine judgment or purification. In the prophetic literature, fire is a common motif representing God's power and holiness. For instance, in Isaiah 30:33, the term is used to describe the prepared pyre for the king of Assyria, symbolizing God's impending judgment: "For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a stream of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze" (BSB). This passage highlights the use of מְדוּרָה as a metaphor for divine retribution.
