Strong's Lexicon sa'ar: To storm, to rage, to tremble, to be agitated Original Word: סער Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2978 (λαῖλαψ, lailaps): A whirlwind, tempest - G2366 (θύελλα, thuella): A storm, tempest Usage: The Hebrew verb "sa'ar" primarily conveys the idea of a storm or tempest, often used metaphorically to describe a state of agitation or turmoil. It can refer to literal storms, such as wind or tempest, as well as figurative storms, such as emotional or spiritual upheaval. The term is used to depict both natural phenomena and human experiences of fear, anger, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment. The Israelites, like their neighbors, viewed storms as both destructive and purifying forces. The imagery of a storm was frequently used in Hebrew poetry and prophecy to convey God's might and the awe-inspiring nature of His presence. Storms were also associated with chaos, which God alone could control and calm, demonstrating His sovereignty over creation.
