Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἐρεθ- (ereth-), which is related to stirring up or provoking.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of provocation in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed through words like כָּעַס (ka'as, Strong's Hebrew 3707), which means to provoke or anger, and קָצַף (qatsaph, Strong's Hebrew 7107), meaning to be angry or to provoke to anger. These terms similarly convey the idea of inciting negative emotions or reactions, paralleling the Greek ἐρεθίζω in its usage and implications. Usage: The verb ἐρεθίζω is used in the New Testament to describe actions that provoke or incite others, often in a negative sense. It appears in contexts where individuals are stirred to anger or irritation. Context: The Greek verb ἐρεθίζω appears in the New Testament with the primary meaning of provoking or inciting someone, often leading to negative emotions or actions. This term is used in Colossians 3:21, where Paul instructs fathers not to provoke their children, lest they become discouraged: "Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged" (BSB). The use of ἐρεθίζω in this context highlights the potential for authority figures to incite negative emotions in those under their care, emphasizing the importance of nurturing rather than provoking.
