Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרָה (charah), which means "to burn" or "to be hot."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2372 (θυμός, thumos): Refers to passion, anger, or wrath, often used in the New Testament to describe intense emotions or divine wrath.
• G3709 (ὀργή, orge): Denotes anger, wrath, or indignation, frequently used to describe God's righteous anger against sin.

These Greek terms parallel the Hebrew concept of חָרוֹן, capturing the intensity and righteousness of divine anger as seen in both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The term חָרוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a fierce, burning anger, typically associated with divine wrath. It is often used in contexts where God's anger is kindled against sin or disobedience.

Context: חָרוֹן (Charon) is a noun masculine in Biblical Hebrew, frequently appearing in the context of divine anger. It is used to describe the intense, consuming wrath of God, often in response to the covenantal unfaithfulness of His people or the wickedness of nations. This term emphasizes the severity and intensity of God's response to sin, portraying His anger as a consuming fire.

In the Berean Standard Bible, חָרוֹן is translated as "burning anger" or "fierce anger." For example, in Exodus 32:12, Moses intercedes for the Israelites, asking God to "turn from Your fierce anger" (BSB) after they worship the golden calf. Similarly, in Deuteronomy 29:27, the text describes how "the anger of the LORD burned against this land" (BSB) due to the people's idolatry.

The concept of חָרוֹן is not limited to divine anger but can also describe human anger, though it is predominantly used in the context of God's righteous indignation. This term underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and His commitment to justice and holiness.
