Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָקַד (yāqad), which means "to burn" or "to kindle."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מוֹקֵד, related concepts of fire and burning in the New Testament can be found in words such as πῦρ (pyr • Strong's Greek 4442), which means "fire," and καίω (kaio • Strong's Greek 2545), meaning "to burn" or "to kindle." These terms are used in various contexts, including judgment, purification, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Usage: The word מוֹקֵד appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a fire or burning, often in the context of a sacrificial or ritualistic setting. It is used to describe the fire on the altar or a place where fire is maintained.

Context: • The term מוֹקֵד is used in the context of the sacrificial system in ancient Israel, where fire played a crucial role in offerings and rituals. The fire on the altar was to be kept burning continually, symbolizing the perpetual presence and worship of God. This concept is reflected in passages where מוֹקֵד is mentioned, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the fire as a sign of devotion and obedience.
• In Levitical law, the fire on the altar was not to be extinguished, representing the ongoing nature of worship and the need for constant vigilance in spiritual matters. The term מוֹקֵד, therefore, carries connotations of both physical and spiritual significance, highlighting the role of fire as a purifying and consuming force in the religious life of Israel.
• The use of מוֹקֵד in the Hebrew Bible underscores the centrality of fire in the worship practices of the Israelites, serving as a tangible reminder of God's presence and the need for holiness and dedication in the lives of His people.
