Berean Strong's Lexicon kidod: Spark, flame Original Word: כִּדּוֹד Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: kidod Pronunciation: kee-dode Phonetic Spelling: (kee-dode') Definition: Spark, flame Meaning: something struck off, a spark Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּדַד (kadad), which means "to bow down" or "to bend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "kidod," the concept of a spark or small flame can be related to the Greek word "σπινθήρ" (spinther), which also means spark. Usage: The term "kidod" is used to describe a small, flickering flame or spark. It conveys the idea of something that is small yet potent, capable of igniting a larger fire. In the biblical context, it often symbolizes the beginning of something significant or the potential for growth and expansion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a crucial element for daily life, used for cooking, warmth, and religious sacrifices. The imagery of a spark or flame would have been a powerful metaphor for the Israelites, representing both the potential for destruction and the promise of light and warmth. The concept of a spark igniting a larger fire would resonate with a people familiar with the necessity and danger of fire.
