Strong's Lexicon zeiq: Spark, flame Original Word: זְעִק Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not used in the Hebrew Bible, but related to the concept of sparking or flaming. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the concept of a spark or flame might be found in words like "σπινθήρ" (spinther), which also means spark. However, direct one-to-one correspondence in Strong's Greek entries may not exist due to differences in language and metaphorical usage. Usage: The Hebrew word "zeiq" refers to a small, fiery particle or spark. It is used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that ignites or initiates a larger reaction, often symbolizing the beginning of a significant event or the potential for destruction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a powerful symbol of both divine presence and judgment. Sparks, as the initial stage of fire, carried the connotation of potential and the beginning of transformation. Fire was used in sacrifices, as a sign of God's presence (e.g., the burning bush), and as a tool for refining and purifying metals. Thus, "zeiq" would have been understood as a potent symbol of initiation and potential change.
