Strong's Lexicon aganaktésis: Indignation, displeasure Original Word: ἀγανακτήσις Word Origin: Derived from the verb ἀγανακτέω (aganakteō), meaning "to be indignant" or "to be greatly displeased." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of indignation is זַעַם (za'am), which conveys anger or indignation, particularly in the context of divine judgment (e.g., Isaiah 30:27). Usage: The term "aganaktésis" refers to a strong feeling of displeasure or indignation, often in response to perceived injustice or wrongdoing. In the New Testament, it conveys a sense of righteous anger or moral outrage, typically in reaction to actions or situations that are contrary to God's will or character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of indignation were common in both public and private life, often related to issues of honor, justice, and social norms. The concept of righteous indignation was understood as a legitimate emotional response to moral or ethical violations. In the Jewish context, indignation could be seen as a reflection of God's own displeasure with sin and injustice, aligning with the prophetic tradition of calling out unrighteousness.
