Context: The term קְצַף (qĕṣap) is an Aramaic verb found in the Old Testament, primarily in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The word conveys a strong sense of anger or rage, often associated with divine or royal displeasure. In Daniel 2:12, the term is used to describe the king's furious reaction when his wise men are unable to recount and interpret his dream: "This made the king so angry and furious that he ordered the execution of all the wise men of Babylon." The use of קְצַף in this context highlights the severity of the king's wrath and the dire consequences for those who failed to meet his demands. The term underscores the theme of divine sovereignty and human authority, as well as the potential for human anger to lead to destructive outcomes.
