It is used in the context of something that is glowing with heat, often symbolizing purification, judgment, or the presence of God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, coals were commonly used for cooking and heating, and they also held symbolic significance in religious rituals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, fire and coals were significant both practically and symbolically. Fire was essential for daily life, used in cooking and heating. Symbolically, fire represented God's presence, as seen in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and the pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21). Burning coals, therefore, could symbolize divine purification or judgment, as well as the fervent presence of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/7531.htm">ritspah</a>.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>coal <p>For <a href="/hebrew/7565.htm">resheph</a>; a red-hot stone (for baking) -- coal. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7565.htm">resheph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>רְצָפִ֖ים רצפים rə·ṣā·p̄îm rəṣāp̄îm retzaFim<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_kings/19-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Kings 19:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/19.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מְרַאֲשֹׁתָ֛יו עֻגַ֥ת <b> רְצָפִ֖ים </b> וְצַפַּ֣חַת מָ֑יִם</span><br><a href="/kjvs/1_kings/19.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and, behold, [there was] a cake <span class="itali">baken on the coals,</span> and a cruse<br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/19-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> his head A bread <span class="itali">the coals</span> jar of water<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7529.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7529.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7529<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/retzafim_7529.htm">rə·ṣā·p̄îm — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7528.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7528"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7528" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7530.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7530"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7530" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
