Berean Strong's Lexicon zaaph: Rage, wrath, storm Original Word: זַעַף Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: zaaph Pronunciation: zah'-af Phonetic Spelling: (zaw-af') Definition: Rage, wrath, storm Meaning: to boil up, to be peevish, angry Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָעַף (za'aph), meaning "to be angry" or "to be indignant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (ὀργή, orgē): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe both human and divine anger. - G2372 (θυμός, thymos): Another Greek term for "wrath" or "fury," emphasizing a passionate and intense form of anger. Usage: The Hebrew word "zaaph" primarily denotes a state of intense anger or wrath. It is often used to describe a powerful emotional response, akin to a storm of emotions, that can lead to destructive actions or consequences. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with divine wrath or human anger that reflects a deep-seated indignation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as anger were often depicted using vivid imagery, such as storms or natural disasters, to convey their intensity and potential for destruction. The concept of divine wrath was understood as a righteous response to sin and disobedience, reflecting God's holiness and justice. Human anger, on the other hand, was often cautioned against, as it could lead to sin if not controlled.
