sparks, fiery particles; emissions from fire (plural construct)
This noun appears in Job 41:19 (English 41:27) describing Leviathan's terrifying features: 'Out of his mouth go burning torches, sparks of fire leap out.' The word derives from a root related to striking or emitting fire, parallel to Arabic terms for fire-sticks that emit sparks when struck. The image is of a creature so fierce that its very breath produces visible fire—mythology meeting natural observation of animals in dramatic descriptions. The plural construct 'sparks of fire' amplifies the terror: not one spark but a shower of flaming particles.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Job 41:19 uses this plural construct noun for the sparks emerging from Leviathan's mouth, parallel to 'burning torches.' The etymology connects to roots meaning to strike out fire or emit sparks (Arabic cognates). English 'sparks-of' and Spanish 'chispas-de' (sparks-of) accurately translate. French/German leave untransliterated, perhaps acknowledging this rare word's interpretive challenges. The construct relationship with 'fire' (esh) emphasizes the fiery nature of these particles. Contributes to Job's hyperbolic portrait of an unconquerable creature. 1×
