Strong's Lexicon pura: Fire, burning Original Word: πυρά Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πῦρ (pur), meaning "fire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of fire is אֵשׁ (esh), Strong's Hebrew #784, which similarly denotes fire and is used in contexts of both literal and symbolic fire in the Old Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, "pura" is used to denote a fire or a place where a fire is burning. It often conveys the idea of a physical fire used for warmth or cooking, but it can also symbolize purification, judgment, or the presence of God. The term is used in contexts that highlight both the literal and metaphorical aspects of fire. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, fire was a central element in daily life, used for cooking, heating, and as a source of light. It also held significant religious and cultural symbolism. In the Jewish tradition, fire was associated with God's presence, as seen in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites (Exodus 13:21). Fire was also a symbol of divine judgment and purification, as in the refining of metals. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom pur Definition a fire NASB Translation fire (2).
