Usage: The Hebrew word "shabib" refers to a flame or blaze, often used metaphorically to describe something that is consuming or intense. It conveys the idea of a powerful, consuming fire, which can be both destructive and purifying. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fire was a significant element in daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices.
