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."
