Strong's Lexicon zaaph: To be angry, to be enraged, to storm Original Word: זַעַף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: za`aph Pronunciation: zah-af' Phonetic Spelling: (zah'-af) Definition: To be angry, to be enraged, to storm Meaning: anger Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zaaph," the concept of anger is expressed in the New Testament with words like "ὀργή" (orgē - Strong's Greek 3709), meaning wrath or anger, and "θυμός" (thymos - Strong's Greek 2372), meaning passion or rage. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zaaph" primarily conveys a sense of intense anger or rage. It is used to describe a state of being furious or stormy, often in the context of divine or human emotion. The term can also imply a turbulent or tempestuous state, reflecting both internal emotional turmoil and external expressions of wrath. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as anger were often attributed to both humans and deities. The expression of anger was seen as a powerful force, capable of bringing about significant change or destruction. In the biblical context, God's anger is often depicted as a response to sin and disobedience, serving as a catalyst for divine judgment or correction. Human anger, on the other hand, is frequently portrayed as a natural but potentially dangerous emotion that must be controlled and directed appropriately.
