Usage: The term נָשַׂק is used in the context of fire and burning, often metaphorically to describe the ignition or kindling of a flame.

Context: The Hebrew verb נָשַׂק (nasak) is a primitive root that primarily conveys the action of catching fire or kindling. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of ignition, whether literal or metaphorical. The term can be found in contexts where fire is a central element, symbolizing purification, judgment, or divine presence. The act of kindling a fire is often associated with offerings and sacrifices, where fire plays a crucial role in the ritualistic practices of ancient Israel. The imagery of fire in the biblical narrative serves as a powerful symbol of God's holiness and consuming presence, as well as a tool for purification and judgment.
