Original Word: ἐμβριμάομαι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: embrimaomai
Pronunciation: em-bree-MAH-oh-my
Phonetic Spelling: (em-brim-ah'-om-ahee)
Definition: To be deeply moved, to sternly warn, to groan

Word Origin: From the Greek root "en" (in) and "brimaomai" (to snort with anger)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the emotional depth of "embrimaomai" can be compared to Hebrew expressions of deep emotional stirring, such as "חָרָה" (charah - to be kindled with anger) or "נֶאֱנַח" (ne'enach - to groan).

Usage: The verb "embrimaomai" conveys a sense of deep emotional response, often associated with indignation, sternness, or a strong internal reaction. In the New Testament, it is used to describe Jesus' profound emotional response, often in the context of compassion or righteous indignation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of deep emotion were often seen as a sign of sincerity and authenticity. The use of "embrimaomai" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of emotions as powerful motivators for action. The term can imply a mixture of emotions, including anger, compassion, and urgency, which were significant in the context of Jesus' ministry and interactions.
