It is used in the context of describing the temperature of the environment, such as the heat of the day or the warmth of the sun. It can also metaphorically describe fervor or passion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, where the climate is predominantly arid and hot, the concept of heat was a significant aspect of daily life. The heat of the sun was both a source of life and a challenge to endure. Understanding the effects of heat was crucial for agriculture, travel, and daily activities. The Israelites, like other ancient peoples, had to adapt their lifestyles to the intense heat, which is reflected in their language and literature.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
