Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g4700 Greek: spodos

Ashes:

"ashes," is found three times, twice in association with sackcloth, Mat 11:21; Luk 10:13, as tokens of grief (cp. Est 4:1, 3; Isa 58:5; 61:3; Jer 6:26; Jon 3:6); of the ashes resulting from animal sacrifices, Hbr 9:13; in the OT, metaphorically, of one who describes himself as dust and "ashes," Gen 18:27, etc.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g5077 Greek: tephroo

Ashes:

"to turn to ashes," is found in 2Pe 2:6, with reference to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Notes:

(1) Tephra, frequently used of the "ashes" of a funeral pile, is not found in the NT.

(2) The Hebrew verb, rendered "accept" in Psa 20:3, "accept thy burnt sacrifice," signifies "to turn to ashes" (i.e., by sending fire from heaven). See also Exd 27:3; Num 4:13, "shall take away the ashes."
