Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "βριμάομαι" (brimaomai, meaning "to snort with anger" or "to express strong feeling").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐμβριμάομαι, the concept of expressing strong emotion or indignation can be found in various Hebrew terms related to anger, groaning, or deep feeling, such as:

- Strong's Hebrew 2734 (חָרָה, charah): To be hot, furious, burn, become angry.
- Strong's Hebrew 7307 (רוּחַ, ruach): Spirit, wind, breath, often used in contexts of emotional or spiritual stirring.

These Hebrew terms capture similar emotional expressions found in the Old Testament, reflecting the continuity of human emotional experience across the biblical narrative.

Usage: The verb ἐμβριμάομαι is used in the New Testament to describe Jesus' emotional response in certain situations, often conveying a sense of deep emotional disturbance or sternness.

Context: The Greek verb ἐμβριμάομαι appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of Jesus' ministry, where it conveys a profound emotional response. This term is used to describe moments when Jesus is deeply moved, often in response to unbelief, misunderstanding, or the presence of suffering and death.

In the Gospel of John, ἐμβριμάομαι is used in John 11:33 and John 11:38, where Jesus is described as being deeply moved in spirit and troubled as He approaches the tomb of Lazarus. The Berean Standard Bible translates these instances as follows:

- John 11:33: "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled."
- John 11:38: "Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance."

In these passages, the term reflects Jesus' profound empathy and emotional engagement with the sorrow of those around Him, as well as His own confrontation with the reality of death.

Additionally, in Mark 1:43 and Mark 14:5, ἐμβριμάομαι is used to describe Jesus' stern warning to the leper He healed and the disciples' indignation at the woman anointing Jesus with expensive perfume, respectively. These instances highlight the intensity of emotion and the seriousness of the situations.

The use of ἐμβριμάομαι in these contexts underscores the depth of Jesus' humanity, as He experiences and expresses strong emotions in response to the brokenness of the world and the lack of understanding among His followers.
