Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G4442 (πῦρ, pyr): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote "fire," paralleling the Hebrew concept in both literal and metaphorical contexts. It appears in passages describing the Holy Spirit's descent as tongues of fire (Acts 2:3) and in eschatological imagery of judgment (Revelation 20:14).

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term אֶשָּׁה, highlighting its significance in biblical theology and its various applications within the scriptural narrative.

Usage: The word אֶשָּׁה is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, primarily to describe the physical phenomenon of fire, but also in metaphorical or symbolic contexts, such as divine presence, judgment, or purification.

Context: The Hebrew term אֶשָּׁה appears in the Old Testament to describe both the natural and supernatural manifestations of fire. It is frequently associated with the presence of God, as seen in the burning bush encountered by Moses (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites by night (Exodus 13:21). Fire is also a common element in sacrificial rituals, symbolizing the consumption and acceptance of offerings by God (Leviticus 1:9). In prophetic literature, fire often represents divine judgment and purification, as in the visions of Isaiah and Ezekiel. The term underscores the dual nature of fire as both a destructive and purifying force, reflecting its role in the divine economy as an agent of both wrath and renewal.
