However, related concepts of fire and burning in a religious context can be found in Greek terms such as πυρά (pyrá, Strong's Greek 4442), which means "fire" or "a burning." Usage: The word מוֹקְדָה is used in the context of maintaining a continuous fire, particularly in the religious and sacrificial practices of ancient Israel. It is associated with the altar and the perpetual fire that was to be kept burning as part of the offerings and rituals. Context: מוֹקְדָה (mokedah) appears in the context of the Levitical laws concerning the burnt offering. In Leviticus 6:9, the term is used to describe the fire on the altar that must be kept burning continuously. This perpetual fire symbolizes the ongoing presence and worship of God, as well as the continual need for atonement and dedication. The fire on the altar was a central element in the sacrificial system, representing both divine acceptance and the consuming nature of God's holiness. The priests were responsible for ensuring that the fire did not go out, signifying the perpetual nature of worship and the covenant relationship between God and His people.
