Part of Speech:Noun Feminine
Transliteration:srephah
Pronunciation:seh-reh-fah'
Phonetic Spelling:(ser-ay-faw')
Definition:Burning, fire, conflagration, destruction by fire

Word Origin:Derived from the root verb שָׂרַף (saraph), meaning "to burn" or "to set on fire."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G4442 (πῦρ, pyr): Fire, often used in the New Testament to denote both literal and metaphorical fire.

-G2740 (καῦσις, kausis): Burning, used in contexts of judgment and purification.

Usage:The Hebrew word "serephah" primarily denotes the act of burning or a state of being consumed by fire. It is often used in the context of destruction, whether of objects, cities, or offerings. The term can also imply a purifying process, as fire is frequently associated with purification in biblical literature.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite culture, fire was a powerful symbol of both destruction and purification. It was used in sacrificial rituals, where offerings were burned as a pleasing aroma to God. Fire also served as a means of judgment, as seen in the destruction of cities like Sodom and Gomorrah. The concept of fire as a purifying agent is prevalent throughout the Bible, reflecting the belief that God uses trials and tribulations to refine His people.
