Strong's Lexicon thumoó: To provoke, to make angry, to be enraged. Original Word: θυμόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: thumoó Pronunciation: thoo-mo'-o Phonetic Spelling: (tho-mo'-o) Definition: To provoke, to make angry, to be enraged. Meaning: I provoke to anger; pass: I am wroth or very angry. Word Origin: Derived from θυμός (thumos), meaning "passion" or "anger." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of anger or wrath is אַף (aph, Strong's H639), which similarly conveys the idea of anger or nostrils flaring in rage. Usage: The verb θυμόω (thumoó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of provoking someone to anger or inciting wrath. It conveys a sense of stirring up intense emotions, often leading to conflict or confrontation. This term is typically used in contexts where there is a deliberate action that results in anger or indignation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotions such as anger were often seen as powerful forces that could lead to both positive and negative outcomes. Anger was sometimes viewed as a natural response to injustice or wrongdoing, but it was also recognized as a potentially destructive emotion that needed to be controlled. The New Testament reflects this understanding, often warning against the dangers of unchecked anger and encouraging believers to pursue peace and reconciliation.
