Usage: In the New Testament, "hulé" primarily refers to wood or timber, often used in the context of construction or as a metaphor for something that is perishable or temporary. It can also denote a forest or a wooded area. The term is used to describe the material substance of trees, which can be crafted into various objects or used as fuel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, wood was a crucial resource for building, crafting, and fuel. Forests were seen as both a source of life and a symbol of untamed nature. In the biblical context, wood is often associated with construction, such as the building of the Ark or the Temple, and is also used metaphorically to describe human works or efforts that are not enduring.
