These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with παροργίζω, often used in the Old Testament to describe actions that provoke anger, particularly in the context of Israel's relationship with God.

Usage: The verb παροργίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of provoking someone to anger or wrath. It often carries the connotation of deliberate or sustained provocation.

Context: The Greek verb παροργίζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are incited to anger, often due to actions or words that are perceived as offensive or challenging. This term is used to describe both human and divine reactions to provocation.

In the Berean Standard Bible, παροργίζω is used in passages such as Ephesians 6:4, where fathers are admonished not to provoke their children to anger: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." This usage highlights the importance of nurturing relationships without inciting unnecessary conflict or resentment.

The term also appears in Romans 10:19, where it is used in a quotation from Deuteronomy to describe how God would provoke Israel to jealousy by turning to the Gentiles: "But I ask, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: 'I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.'"

The concept of provocation in the biblical context often serves as a warning against actions that lead to discord and division, emphasizing the need for harmony and understanding in relationships, both human and divine.
