Strong's Lexicon zaam: To be indignant, to denounce, to express wrath Original Word: זָעַם Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: za`am Pronunciation: zah-am Phonetic Spelling: (zaw-am') Definition: To be indignant, to denounce, to express wrath Meaning: to foam at the mouth, to be enraged Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (orge): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous anger, similar to the Hebrew "zaam." Usage: The Hebrew verb "zaam" primarily conveys a sense of indignation or wrath, often in the context of divine judgment or denunciation. It is used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and injustice. The term can also imply a strong disapproval or condemnation, reflecting a moral and ethical stance against wrongdoing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of divine wrath were common in religious texts, reflecting the belief that deities were actively involved in the moral order of the world. In the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is not arbitrary but is a response to covenant violations, idolatry, and social injustices. The concept of divine wrath served as a warning to the Israelites to adhere to the covenantal laws and maintain social justice.
