Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the specific process of melting as described by הִתּוּךְ, related concepts can be found in Greek terms associated with purification and refinement, such as καθαίρω (kathairō • to cleanse, purify) and δοκιμάζω (dokimazō • to test, prove). These terms capture the essence of the refining process metaphorically applied in the New Testament.

Usage: The term is used in the context of describing the melting process, particularly in relation to metals. It is a technical term that appears in discussions of metallurgy and refining.
