It is often used metaphorically to describe destructive forces such as plagues or pestilences. In some contexts, it can also refer to fiery arrows or darts, symbolizing sudden and intense calamities or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, "resheph" was sometimes personified as a deity associated with plague and war. This reflects the broader cultural understanding of disease and destruction as forces that could be both natural and supernatural. In the biblical context, "resheph" is used to convey the severity and suddenness of divine judgment or calamity, emphasizing God's power over life and death.<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>flame<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bolts of lightning (1), flaming (1), flashes (2), plague (2), sparks* (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">רֶ֫שֶׁף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Habakkuk 3:5</sup> <font size="+1"><b>flame, fire-bolt</b></font>;
