- Fire001002005006
- The noun for a flame, used of the flame that "will dry up" the wicked man's shoot as it departs (Job 15:30) and love's flame described as "flames of fire, the flame of the LORD" (Song of Solomon 8:6); the sampled citation at Ezekiel 21:3 does not itself show the word, describing instead the LORD drawing His sword, likely reflecting the same local versification drift already documented for Ezekiel 21.
