Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not used in the Hebrew Bible, but related to the concept of dross or impurities.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G96, "ἀδόκιμος" (adokimos), which means "unapproved" or "rejected." While not a direct translation of "סִיג," it conveys a similar concept of something being found lacking or impure, often used in the New Testament to describe those who fail to meet God's standards or are rejected due to impurity or sin.

This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term "סִיג" (sig), its usage in the biblical text, and its metaphorical significance in conveying themes of purification and divine judgment.

Usage: The word "סִיג" appears in the context of refining metals, symbolizing the removal of impurities. It is used metaphorically to describe the purification process of individuals or communities, often in a spiritual or moral sense.

Context: • The term "סִיג" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the byproduct of metal refining, specifically the impurities or dross that are removed to purify the metal. This process is often used metaphorically to illustrate the purification of people or nations by God, emphasizing the removal of sin and moral corruption.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in passages such as Isaiah 1:25, where God declares, "I will turn My hand against you; I will thoroughly purge your dross; I will remove all your impurities." This verse uses the imagery of refining to convey God's intention to purify His people by removing their sins and restoring them to righteousness.
• The concept of refining and removing dross is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, symbolizing divine judgment and restoration. It underscores the idea that just as metals are purified through fire, so too are individuals and communities purified through trials and divine intervention.
