Strong's Lexicon qetseb: Wrath, rage, indignation Original Word: קֶצֶב Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצַף (qatsaf), meaning "to be angry" or "to be enraged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qetseb," the concept of divine wrath is often expressed in the New Testament with the Greek word "ὀργή" (orgē), Strong's Greek #3709. Usage: The Hebrew word "qetseb" primarily denotes a state of intense anger or wrath. It is often used to describe the fierce anger of God in response to sin and disobedience. This term conveys a sense of divine judgment and the seriousness with which God views sin. In the context of the Old Testament, "qetseb" is frequently associated with the consequences of breaking the covenant with God, leading to divine retribution. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of divine wrath was understood as a response to covenant unfaithfulness. The Israelites believed that God's anger was not arbitrary but was a reaction to moral and spiritual failures. The use of "qetseb" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the theological understanding that God's wrath is a just response to human sinfulness, serving both as a warning and a call to repentance.
