        DefinitionShort: a chemical found in pale yellow mineral form; burns readily in air and is found in regions of vulcanic activity such as the Dead Sea area; causes land to be infertile; associated with punishment from God

        Glosses: ['sulfur', 'brimstone']

        Comments: In the NT θεῖον is always associated in some way with fire and refers to the kinds of burning hot rocks involved in volcanic eruptions. The closest equivalent in a number of languages is ‘burning stones’ or ‘fiery hot stones’ or ‘fiery red stones.’
