SIBI-P1 H784-11
to a fire
| Root | אשׁ (ʾ-š) |
| Core Meanings | fire, burning, flame, heat, fiery destruction |
| Semantic Range | Literal fire, flame, burning heat; figurative fire as divine judgment, wrath, passion, purification, or consuming destruction. |
| Conceptual Significance | Fire in the Hebrew Scriptures signifies both the presence and power of יהוה—appearing in revelation (e.g., burning bush), in sacrificial worship, and in judgment. It embodies purification, holiness, zeal, and destructive power, making it a central symbol of divine activity. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) + noun אֵשׁ, common singular absolute (feminine in usage). No pronominal suffix; indefinite singular sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְאֵשׁ consists of the preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to the singular absolute noun אֵשׁ (“fire”). Rendering it as “to a fire” preserves the singular sense of the noun and reflects the prefixed preposition, maintaining the concrete, elemental force inherent in the root. |
