Usage: The word "za'am" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe God's wrath or anger, often in the context of divine judgment or retribution. It conveys a sense of vehement displeasure and is typically associated with the consequences of sin or disobedience.

Context: • The Hebrew word "za'am" appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often illustrating the severity of God's response to human actions. It is used to describe not only God's wrath but also the resulting punishment or calamity that befalls those who incur His anger.

For example, in Isaiah 30:27, it is written, "Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, burning with His anger, and in dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire."
• The concept of "za'am" underscores the holiness and justice of God, emphasizing that His anger is not arbitrary but a response to sin and rebellion. It serves as a warning to the faithful to adhere to God's commandments and live righteously.
