COAL - C>@ - The first and most frequent use of the word rendered coal is a live ember, burning fuel. kjv@Proverbs:26:21) In (2 Samuel 22:9,13) "coals of fire" are put metaphorically for the lightnings proceeding from God. kjv@Psalms:18:8 kjv@Psalms:18:12-13 kjv@Psalms:140:10) In kjv@Proverbs:26:21) fuel not yet lighted is clearly signified. The fuel meant in the above passage is probably charcoal, and not coal in our sense of the word.

Coal @ It is by no means certain that the Hebrews were acquainted with mineral coal, although it is found in Syria. Their common fuel was dried dung of animals and wood charcoal. Two different words are found in Hebrew to denote coal, both occurring in kjv@Proverbs:26:21, "As coal [Heb. peham; i.e., "black coal"] is to burning coal [Heb. gehalim]." The latter of these words is used in kjv@Job:41:21; kjv@Proverbs:6:28; kjv@Isaiah:44:19. The words "live coal" in kjv@Isaiah:6:6 are more correctly "glowing stone." In kjv@Lamentations:4:8 the expression "blacker than a coal" is literally rendered in the margin of the Revised Version "darker than blackness." "Coals of fire" ( kjv@2Samuel:22:9 kjv@2Samuel:22:13 kjv@Psalms:18:8 kjv@Psalms:18:12, 13, etc.) is an expression used metaphorically for lightnings proceeding from God. A false tongue is compared to "coals of juniper" kjv@Psalms:120:4; kjv@James:3:6). "Heaping coals of fire on the head" symbolizes overcoming evil with good. The words of Paul kjv@Romans:12:20) are equivalent to saying, "By charity and kindness thou shalt soften down his enmity as surely as heaping coals on the fire fuses the metal in the crucible."
