It conveys the idea of something bright, sudden, and powerful, often associated with divine presence or action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lightning was often seen as a manifestation of divine power. It was associated with the presence of deities and was a symbol of their might and authority. In the Hebrew Bible, lightning is frequently used as a metaphor for God's power and majesty, illustrating His ability to intervene in the natural world and in human affairs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an axe<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hammers (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כֵּילַמּוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>axe</b></font> (loan-word (compare Frä<sup>74</sup>) from Assyrian <i><em>kalappatu</em></i> see Dl<sup>HWB 333</sup>) — <font class="hebrew2">יַהֲלֹמ֑וּן</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/74-6.htm">Psalm 74:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">קַרְדֻּמּוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/74-5.htm">Psalm 74:5</a>). <p><font class="hebrew2">כִּימָה</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">כום</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>hammer <p>From an unused root meaning to clap or strike with noise;
