It is often used in contexts where intense heat or burning is described, whether literally, as in the burning of fire, or metaphorically, as in the burning of anger or passion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a central element in daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices. The concept of burning or glowing was often associated with purification, judgment, and divine presence. The imagery of fire is prevalent throughout the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing both destruction and the presence of God, as seen in the burning bush or the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"lurker," an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Gahar (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">גַּ֫חַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>head of family of returned exiles</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/2-47.htm">Ezra 2:47</a> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵיגֿ</font> = <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7-49.htm">Nehemiah 7:49</a> <font class="hebrew2">בְּנֵינָֿ֑חַר</font>. <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>Gahar <p>From an unused root meaning to hide;
