Comments: ἄνθραξ occurs in the NT only in {S:04501202000032} in the adage ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ‘heap coals of fire on his head.’ This idiomatic expression probably refers to making someone blush with shame and remorse (see {D:25.199}).|In rendering ἄνθρακας πυρός it is not necessary to use a word which specifically refers to ‘flaming charcoal.’ What is important is that the embers be understood as ‘fiery embers’ or ‘hot ashes’ or ‘burning ashes.’
