DefinitionShort: a pile or heap of burning material
Glosses: ['fire', 'bonfire']
Comments: The Greek phrase ἅψαντες … πυράν ‘to kindle a fire’ is best rendered in a number of languages by a single verb meaning ‘to make a fire,’ and in some languages it is strange to speak of a ‘fire’ without indicating the type of material which is being burned. Hence, in {S:04402800200024} the appropriate equivalent would be ‘they caused some sticks to burn.’|In some languages a very important distinction is made between two functionally different kinds of fire, one used for getting rid of refuse and the other used for warming oneself. Fire as a destructive agent, mentioned frequently in the book of Revelation ({S:06600800500024} and {S:06602001000024}), may require quite a different term from what is used in speaking of a fire for the purpose of warming a person or heating an object.
