Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָשַׁן (ʿāšan), which means "to smoke" or "to be angry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G822: ἄχνη (achnē) • This Greek term refers to "mist" or "vapor," similar to the concept of smoke in its ephemeral and insubstantial nature. • G2586: καπνός (kapnos) • This Greek word directly translates to "smoke" and is used in the New Testament to describe smoke in both literal and figurative contexts, such as in Revelation 8:4, where the smoke of incense represents the prayers of the saints ascending before God. These entries highlight the multifaceted use of עָשָׁן in the Hebrew Bible, illustrating its role in conveying divine presence, judgment, and the transient nature of life. Usage: The term עָשָׁן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe smoke in various contexts, including sacrificial offerings, divine manifestations, and metaphoric expressions of anger or destruction. Context: The Hebrew word עָשָׁן appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with the presence of God or divine judgment. For instance, in Exodus 19:18, the smoke on Mount Sinai signifies God's presence: "Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire." This imagery of smoke is frequently linked to theophanies, where God's presence is made manifest in a tangible form. In Isaiah 6:4, the temple fills with smoke during Isaiah's vision of the Lord, symbolizing divine majesty and holiness. Additionally, עָשָׁן is used metaphorically to describe the transient nature of life or the intensity of divine wrath. In Psalm 37:20, the wicked are compared to smoke that vanishes: "But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the fields. They will vanish—like smoke they will vanish away." This metaphor underscores the fleeting and insubstantial nature of human opposition to God. The term also appears in prophetic literature to depict destruction and judgment, as seen in Isaiah 34:10, where the smoke of Edom's destruction is said to rise forever: "It will not be quenched night or day; its smoke will rise forever."
