It is used in contexts where something is being taken up or gathered, such as coals or fire.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a central element of daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices. The act of gathering coals or fire was a common task, often associated with maintaining the hearth or preparing for a sacrifice. The imagery of gathering fire can also symbolize preparation, purification, or judgment in biblical literature.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to snatch up<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heap (1), snatch (1), take (2).<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">חָתָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>snatch up</b></font>, usually fire, coals (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">חֲתָא</font>, <em>id.</em> (rare); Assyrian <i><em>—atû</em></i> is <em>destroy</em> (i.e. <em>snatch away ?</em>) see SASm<sup>Asrb i. 90</sup>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יַחְתֶּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-27.htm">Proverbs 6:27</a>; suffix <font class="hebrew2">יַחְתְּךָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/52-7.htm">Psalm 52:7</a>; <em>Infinitive construct</em> <font class="hebrew2">לַחְתּוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-14.htm">Isaiah 30:14</a>; <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">חֹתֶה</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25-22.htm">Proverbs 25:22</a>; — <em>snatch up</em>, with accusative <font class="hebrew2">אֵשׁ מִיָּקוּד</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-14.htm">Isaiah 30:14</a> <em>to snatch up fire from a hearth</em> ("" <font class="hebrew2">לַחְשׂף מים מִגֶּבֶא</font>); <font class="hebrew2">אֵשׁ בְּחֵיקוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-27.htm">Proverbs 6:27</a> shall a man <em>snatch up fire in his bosom</em> and his garments not be burned ?
