Strong's Lexicon qetsaph: Wrath, anger, indignation Original Word: קְצַף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: qtsaph Pronunciation: keh'-tsaf Phonetic Spelling: (kets-af') Definition: rage Meaning: Rage, wrath, or anger. Word Origin: Derived from the root קצף (qāṣap), which means "to be angry" or "to be enraged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 3709 (ὀργή, orgē): Meaning "anger" or "wrath," often used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous indignation. • Strong's Greek 2372 (θυμός, thymos): Meaning "passion" or "wrath," used to convey intense emotions or outbursts of anger. These Greek terms parallel the concept of קְצַף in expressing the idea of wrath or anger, whether in human or divine contexts. Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of expressing intense anger or wrath, often in relation to divine or royal displeasure. Context: The term קְצַף (qĕṣap) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe the intense anger or wrath of a king or a divine being. In the book of Daniel, it is used to depict the wrath of King Nebuchadnezzar when his demands are not met, illustrating the volatile nature of royal anger in ancient Near Eastern contexts. In Ezra, it is used to describe the wrath of God against those who oppose His will, emphasizing the seriousness of divine judgment. For example, in Daniel 3:13 (BSB), it is written: "Then Nebuchadnezzar, in a furious rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego." Here, קְצַף (qĕṣap) is translated as "furious rage," highlighting the king's intense anger towards those who defied his command. The usage of קְצַף in these contexts underscores the concept of wrath as a powerful and often destructive force, whether emanating from human rulers or from God. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of aligning with divine will.
