Strong's Lexicon yeqod: Burning, flame Original Word: יְקוֹד Word Origin: Derived from the root יָקַד (yaqad), meaning "to burn" or "to kindle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is πυρ (pur), Strong's Greek #4442, which also means fire or flame. Usage: The term "yeqod" refers to a burning or flame, often used metaphorically to describe intense passion, divine judgment, or purification. It conveys the idea of consuming fire, which can be both destructive and purifying. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a powerful symbol. It represented 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 used in sacrificial rituals, symbolizing purification and the acceptance of offerings by God. The concept of divine fire as a purifying force is prevalent throughout the Old Testament.
