Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ὀργή (orgē), meaning "anger" or "wrath."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 599 (אָנַף, anaph): To be angry, to breathe hard, often used to describe God's righteous anger.
• Strong's Hebrew 2734 (חָרָה, charah): To burn or be kindled with anger, frequently used in contexts of divine or human anger.
• Strong's Hebrew 3707 (כָּעַס, ka'as): To be vexed or angry, used to describe both human and divine displeasure.

These Hebrew terms provide a foundation for understanding the concept of anger in the biblical tradition, offering insight into the continuity of this theme from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Usage: The verb ὀργίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of becoming angry or inciting anger. It appears in contexts where individuals or groups experience or express anger, often in response to perceived injustice or wrongdoing.

Context: The Greek verb ὀργίζω is primarily used in the New Testament to convey the concept of anger or wrath. It is a term that reflects a strong emotional response, often associated with moral indignation or righteous anger. The verb appears in both active and passive forms, indicating either the act of causing anger or the state of being angry.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὀργίζω is used in several key passages:

• Matthew 5:22: "But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." Here, ὀργίζω is used to warn against harboring anger, emphasizing the moral and spiritual implications of such emotions.

• Ephesians 4:26: "Be angry, yet do not sin." This passage acknowledges that anger itself is not inherently sinful but cautions believers to manage their anger in a way that does not lead to sin.

• Revelation 11:18: "The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come." In this eschatological context, ὀργίζω describes the anger of the nations in response to divine judgment, highlighting the cosmic scale of conflict between human rebellion and divine justice.

Theologically, ὀργίζω underscores the importance of controlling one's emotions and aligning them with God's righteousness. While anger can be a natural human response, the New Testament encourages believers to exercise self-control and seek reconciliation, reflecting the character of Christ.
