Strong's Lexicon kelappoth: "flashes" or "flames" Original Word: כֵּילַף Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַף (kalaph), meaning "to peel" or "to strip off." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "kelappoth," the concept of lightning is captured in the Greek word ἀστραπή (astrapé), Strong's Greek #796, which also denotes flashes of lightning and is used in the New Testament to describe the coming of the Son of Man (e.g., Matthew 24:27). Usage: The term "kelappoth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the appearance of lightning or the flickering of flames. It conveys the idea of something bright, sudden, and powerful, often associated with divine presence or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lightning was often seen as a manifestation of divine power. It was associated with the presence of deities and was a symbol of their might and authority. In the Hebrew Bible, lightning is frequently used as a metaphor for God's power and majesty, illustrating His ability to intervene in the natural world and in human affairs.
