fı̄r´brand ( אוּד , 'ūdh , used for a burning stick taken out of the fire): In Judges 15:4 , Judges 15:5 describing the "brands" (margin "torches") which Samson tied to the foxes' tails, the word is lappı̄dh ("lamp"; see Judges 7:16 , Judges 7:20 the Revised Version (British and American), "torches"). Other words are ziḳḳı̄m , "sparks," "flames" (fiery darts; Proverbs 26:18 ), and zı̄ḳōth (Isaiah 50:11 ); 'ūdh is used figuratively of angry men ( Isaiah 7:4 ), and of those mercifully rescued from destruction (Amos 4:11; Zechariah 3:2; the Revised Version (British and American) "brand"). the Revised Version (British and American) gives "firebrand" as translation of mōḳēdh (the King James Version "hearth") in Psalm 102:3 , "My bones are burned as a firebrand" (margin "as a hearth"). See BRAND .
