Notes: In a number of languages important distinctions are made in the use of terms for burning. For example, the burning of a substance for light, as in the case of a lamp or candle, may be indicated by a term quite different from an expression indicating the destruction or burning up of something. Similarly, the burning of wood for cooking may require still another term. The extent or size of the fire involved may also require some distinctions in terms for burning.|It is important to indicate that in the phrase ‘her burning’ she is the one who is burned. One may therefore render this part of RV REV 18:18 · LV REV 18:18 · Read together REV 18:18 as ‘when they see the smoke of the fire that burns her up.’
