  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 Prov.
     26:21, "As coal [Heb. peham; i.e., "black coal"] is to burning
     coal [Heb. gehalim]." The latter of these words is used in Job
     41:21; Prov. 6:28; Isa. 44:19. The words "live coal" in Isa. 6:6
     are more correctly "glowing stone." In Lam. 4:8 the expression
     "blacker than a coal" is literally rendered in the margin of the
     Revised Version "darker than blackness." "Coals of fire" (2 Sam.
     22:9, 13; Ps. 18:8, 12, 13, etc.) is an expression used
     metaphorically for lightnings proceeding from God. A false
     tongue is compared to "coals of juniper" (Ps. 120:4; James 3:6).
     "Heaping coals of fire on the head" symbolizes overcoming evil
     with good. The words of Paul (Rom. 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."
     

  Coal \Coal\ (k[=o]l), n. [AS. col; akin to D. kool, OHG. chol,
     cholo, G. kohle, Icel. kol, pl., Sw. kol, Dan. kul; cf. Skr.
     jval to burn. Cf. Kiln, Collier.]
     1. A thoroughly charred, and extinguished or still ignited,
        fragment from wood or other combustible substance;
        charcoal.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Min.) A black, or brownish black, solid, combustible
        substance, dug from beds or veins in the earth to be used
        for fuel, and consisting, like charcoal, mainly of carbon,
        but more compact, and often affording, when heated, a
        large amount of volatile matter.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This word is often used adjectively, or as the first

           on the fire. In the United States the singular in a
           collective sense is the customary usage; as, a hod of
           coal.
