Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word הָמָס (hamas), as the concept of dry twigs or brushwood is contextually specific to the Hebrew language and culture. However, similar concepts related to kindling or fuel might be found in Greek terms used in the Septuagint or New Testament, though they would not be direct translations of הָמָס. Usage: The term הָמָס (hamas) is used in the context of describing dry twigs or brushwood, typically in reference to kindling or fuel for fire. Context: The Hebrew word הָמָס (hamas) appears in the Old Testament to denote dry twigs or brushwood, which are often used as kindling material. This term is illustrative of the natural environment in the ancient Near East, where such materials were commonly gathered for fuel. The imagery of dry twigs is sometimes used metaphorically in biblical literature to convey ideas of fragility, transience, or the ease with which something can be consumed by fire. The use of הָמָס in the biblical text underscores the practical aspects of daily life in ancient times, where gathering brushwood was a necessary task for cooking and heating. The word reflects the simplicity and resourcefulness of ancient societies in utilizing available natural resources.
