Strong's Lexicon qetsaph: Wrath, anger, indignation Original Word: קְצַף Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצַף (qatsaph), meaning "to be angry" or "to be enraged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (ὀργή, orgē): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous indignation. - G2372 (θυμός, thymos): Refers to a more passionate or intense form of anger, sometimes used interchangeably with "orgē." Usage: The Hebrew word "qetsaph" primarily denotes a state of intense anger or wrath. It is often used to describe the divine anger of God towards sin and disobedience. In the Old Testament, "qetsaph" is frequently associated with God's righteous judgment and the consequences of Israel's unfaithfulness to the covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of divine wrath was not uncommon. Deities were often portrayed as having human-like emotions, including anger. However, in the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is always portrayed as just and purposeful, aimed at bringing about repentance and restoration. The Israelites understood that God's anger was a response to covenant violations and moral failures, and it served as a call to return to righteousness.
