It can refer to the stirring up of emotions, desires, or passions, as well as the literal act of setting something on fire. The term conveys a sense of intensity and fervor, whether in a positive or negative context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, fire was a powerful symbol of both destruction and purification. It was used in various religious and cultural rituals, symbolizing divine presence, judgment, or cleansing. The metaphorical use of fire to describe emotions or spiritual fervor was common in both Jewish and Hellenistic literature, reflecting the dynamic and consuming nature of such experiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/2545.htm">kaió</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to kindle, to be inflamed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burned (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 1572: ἐκκαίω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκκαίω</span></span>: 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">ἐξεκαυθην</span>;
