1. flame, blaze — A visible, burning fire or blaze; used of the flame in which God or angels appear (Acts 7:30 'flame of a burning bush'; 2 Thess 1:8 'flaming fire'; Heb 1:7 'a flame of fire'), and of eschatological judgment fire (Rev 1:14, 2:18, 19:12 'eyes like a flame of fire'). Multilingual evidence uniformly denotes fire/flame: Spanish 'llama', Hindi 'लौ/लपट', Arabic 'لَهيب', Korean '불꽃', Swahili 'mwali/moto'. The genitive form (S78638) is simply case inflection of the same referent, not a distinct sense. 7×
