It signifies a place where wood is heaped up and burned, providing warmth and light. In biblical usage, it can denote both literal and symbolic fires, representing purification, judgment, or the presence of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, fire held significant symbolic and practical importance. It was central to daily life for cooking and warmth, and it played a crucial role in religious rituals and sacrifices. The imagery of fire is prevalent throughout the Bible, symbolizing God's presence, as seen in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21). Bonfires or hearths were also places of gathering, storytelling, and community bonding.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1752.htm">dur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a pile (of wood)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pile (1), pyre (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְדוּרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pile</b></font> (of wood, etc.) <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/24-9.htm">Ezekiel 24:9</a>; <font class="hebrew2">מְדֻרָתָהּ אֵשׁ ועצים הרבה</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-33.htm">Isaiah 30:33</a> = <em>pyre</em> (so Ges Hi De Che Brd; Ew Di <em>its circuit, compass</em>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>pile for fire <p>Or mdurah {med-oo-raw'}; from <a href="/hebrew/1752.htm">duwr</a> in the sense of accumulation; a pile of fuel -- pile (for fire). <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1752.htm">duwr</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הַמְּדוּרָֽה׃ המדורה׃ מְדֻרָתָ֗הּ מדרתה ham·mə·ḏū·rāh hammeduRah hamməḏūrāh mə·ḏu·rā·ṯāh meduraTah məḏurāṯāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/30-33.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 30:33</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הֶעְמִ֣יק הִרְחִ֑ב <b> מְדֻרָתָ֗הּ </b> אֵ֤שׁ וְעֵצִים֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and large, <span class="itali">A pyre</span> of fire<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> [and] large: <span class="itali">the pile</span> thereof [is] fire<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-33.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> has made and large <span class="itali">A pyre</span> of fire of wood<p><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/24-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 24:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/24.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֲנִ֖י אַגְדִּ֥יל <b> הַמְּדוּרָֽה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezekiel/24.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> I also will make <span class="itali">the pile</span> great.<br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/24.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> city!
