Strong's Lexicon shetseph: Overflow, Flood, Wrath Original Word: שֶׁצֶף Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be strong or to rage Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shetseph," the concept of divine wrath and overwhelming power can be found in Greek terms such as "ὀργή" (orgē - Strong's Greek 3709) meaning wrath, and "κατακλυσμός" (kataklysmos - Strong's Greek 2627) meaning flood or deluge. Usage: The Hebrew word "shetseph" primarily conveys the idea of an overwhelming force, often used metaphorically to describe a flood or a surge of wrath. It is associated with intense, uncontrollable power, whether in the form of natural phenomena or divine anger. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to God's righteous indignation against sin and disobedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, floods were both feared and revered as symbols of divine power and judgment. The imagery of a flood was commonly used to describe overwhelming destruction or divine retribution. In the Hebrew Bible, such imagery underscores the seriousness of God's judgment and the need for repentance and obedience to His commandments.
