- G2372 (thumos): Translated as "wrath" or "fury," indicating a passionate outburst of anger.

Usage: The Hebrew word "chemah" primarily denotes intense anger or wrath, often associated with divine judgment or human rage. It conveys a sense of burning indignation and is frequently used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and disobedience. In some contexts, it can also refer to the heat of passion or the fervor of emotion.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of anger and wrath were often depicted in vivid, fiery imagery. The concept of divine wrath was not unique to Israel but was a common theme in the religious literature of surrounding cultures. However, in the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is portrayed as a just response to covenant unfaithfulness and moral corruption, emphasizing His holiness and justice.
