ya.qad denotes fire being kindled or burning, including a noun use in a hearth setting.

The attested verbal use concerns fire as kindled or burning, whether in anger, under glory, or throughout the day. A single noun occurrence occurs where fire is taken from a hearth; the supplied Leviticus renderings do not isolate the contribution of their Hophal verb forms.

Senses in use

  1. Fire kindled or continuing to burn · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 32:22, the Qal sequential imperfect occurs in the clause where fire has been kindled in anger and burns to lower Sheol. Isaiah 10:16 places a Qal imperfect in the comparison of a burning that kindles like fire, while Isaiah 65:5 uses a Qal active participle for a fire that burns all day. Jeremiah 15:14 and Jeremiah 17:4 use Hophal imperfect forms in clauses about a fire kindled in anger.

  2. Fire in a hearth context · rare

    Isaiah 30:14 has a masculine singular absolute noun form in the description of taking fire from the hearth. The APB’s hearth clause confirms the fire-related setting, though it does not align the English wording token by token.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the clearer clauses, the APB uses wording such as “burns,” “kindle,” and “has been kindled” for the surrounding fire imagery. Its supplied texts for Leviticus 6:2, Leviticus 6:5, and Leviticus 6:6 do not display a fire clause, so the contribution of those Hophal forms cannot be isolated from the translation.
