Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a root corresponding to the Hebrew word אֵשׁ (esh), meaning "fire."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4442: πῦρ (pur) • fire Usage: The Aramaic term אֵשׁ is used in the context of fire, often symbolizing divine presence, judgment, or purification. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the Book of Daniel. Context: The term אֵשׁ (esh) in its Aramaic form is primarily found in the Book of Daniel, which contains significant portions written in Aramaic. In Daniel 3:6, 11, 15, 17, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, the word is used in the narrative of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who are thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar. The fire, described as exceedingly hot, serves as a test of faith and divine deliverance. The miraculous preservation of these men from the flames underscores the power and protection of God. The imagery of fire in this context is both literal and symbolic, representing both the physical danger and the purifying trial of faith. The presence of a divine figure "like a son of the gods" walking with them in the fire (Daniel 3:25, BSB) further emphasizes the theme of divine intervention and salvation.
