Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G1695 • ἔμπυρος (empyros), which refers to something that is fiery or burning. While not a direct translation, the concept of heat is a common element between the Hebrew יֵם (yem) and the Greek ἔμπυρος (empyros), both indicating a source of warmth or heat, whether in water or fire. Usage: The term יֵם (yem) is used in the context of describing a natural water source, specifically a warm spring. It is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specific type of spring characterized by its warm temperature. Context: The Hebrew word יֵם (yem) appears in the context of describing geographical features in the ancient Near East. Warm springs were significant in biblical times for their therapeutic properties and as sources of water in arid regions. The term is not frequently used in the biblical text, which suggests that such springs were notable but not common. The presence of a warm spring would have been a valuable resource for ancient communities, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and possibly for ritual purification purposes. The specific mention of a warm spring in the biblical narrative highlights its importance in the landscape and its potential role in the daily life and health of the people.
