Strong's Lexicon zaam: Indignation, wrath, anger Original Word: זַעַם Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָעַם (za'am), meaning "to be indignant" or "to denounce." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (ὀργή, orgē): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous anger. - G2372 (θυμός, thymos): Refers to a passionate or intense form of anger, sometimes used in the context of divine wrath. Usage: The Hebrew word "zaam" primarily denotes a strong sense of indignation or wrath, often associated with divine judgment or anger. It is used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and injustice. The term conveys a sense of intense displeasure and is often linked with the execution of judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of divine wrath was not uncommon. Deities were often portrayed as having human-like emotions, including anger. However, in the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is always portrayed as just and righteous, a response to human sin and rebellion. The Israelites understood God's indignation as a call to repentance and a reminder of His holiness and justice.
