Strong's Lexicon orgé: Wrath, anger, indignation Original Word: ὀργή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὀρέγω (oregō), meaning "to stretch out" or "to reach forth," indicating a passionate impulse or desire. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H639 אַף (aph) – often translated as "anger" or "wrath." - H7110 קֶצֶף (qetseph) – meaning "wrath" or "indignation." Usage: In the New Testament, "orgé" primarily refers to a settled and abiding condition of mind, often with a view to taking vengeance. It is used to describe both human and divine anger. Human anger can be sinful, but divine wrath is always just and righteous, reflecting God's holiness and justice. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, anger was often seen as a powerful emotion that could lead to destructive actions if not controlled. Philosophers like Aristotle discussed the importance of moderating anger. In Jewish thought, God's wrath was understood as a response to sin and disobedience, a theme that is consistent throughout the Old Testament and carried into the New Testament. HELPS Word-studies 3709 orgḗ (from orgáō, "to teem, swelling up to constitutionally oppose") – properly, settled anger (opposition), i.e. rising up from an ongoing (fixed) opposition. 3709 /orgḗ ("settled anger") proceeds from an internal disposition which steadfastly opposes someone or something based on extended personal exposure, i.e. solidifying what the beholder considers wrong (unjust, evil). ["Orgē comes from the verb oragō meaning, 'to teem, to swell'; and thus implies that it is not a sudden outburst, but rather (referring to God's) fixed, controlled, passionate feeling against sin . . . a settled indignation (so Hendriksen)" (D. E. Hiebert, at 1 Thes 1:10).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina prim. word Definition impulse, wrath NASB Translation anger (6), wrath (30).
