It is used in the context of igniting something, whether literally, as in lighting a lamp or fire, or metaphorically, as in stirring up emotions or zeal. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of initiating or rekindling something that is meant to burn brightly.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, fire was a crucial element for daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and light. The act of kindling a fire was a common and necessary task. In a spiritual sense, fire often symbolizes the presence of God, purification, and the Holy Spirit. The imagery of fire is prevalent throughout the Bible, representing both divine judgment and divine presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/303.htm">ana</a> and <a href="/greek/681.htm">haptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to kindle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>kindled (1), set aflame (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 381: ἀνάπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνάπτω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀνηψα</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">ἀνήφθην</span>; <span class="accented">to light up, kindle</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/12-49.htm">Luke 12:49</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-2.htm">Acts 28:2</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>); <a href="/interlinear/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5</a>.
