Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew נוּר (nur)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in the Strong's Concordance is G4442 (πῦρ, pyr), which also means "fire." This Greek term is used throughout the New Testament to describe both literal and metaphorical fire, including the fire of judgment, the Holy Spirit's purifying presence, and the eternal fire of hell. The consistent theme across both the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek scriptures is the dual nature of fire as both destructive and purifying, often associated with divine presence and action.

Usage: The term נוּר is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote "fire."

Context: The Aramaic word נוּר (nur) appears in the context of the Old Testament, primarily in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe literal fire, often in dramatic and miraculous narratives. For instance, in Daniel 3, the term is used in the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who are thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar. Despite the intense heat, they are unharmed, demonstrating God's power and protection. The word נוּר is also used in Daniel 7:9-10, where it describes the fiery throne and the river of fire flowing from it, symbolizing divine judgment and majesty.

In Ezra 4:12, the term is used metaphorically to describe the rebuilding of Jerusalem, where the walls and foundations are said to be set on fire, indicating the fervor and intensity of the construction efforts.

The use of נוּר in these contexts highlights both the literal and symbolic aspects of fire in biblical literature, representing both destruction and purification, as well as the presence and power of God.
