Berean Strong's Lexicon qetseph: Wrath, anger, indignation Original Word: קֶצֶף Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצַף (qatsaph), meaning "to be angry" or "to be enraged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ὀργή (orgē): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous indignation. - θυμός (thumos): Another Greek word for "wrath," indicating a passionate or intense form of anger. Usage: The Hebrew word "qetseph" primarily denotes a state of intense anger or wrath, often associated with divine judgment. It is used to describe the fierce anger of God against sin and disobedience. The term conveys a sense of overwhelming indignation that leads to action, typically in the form of punishment or correction. 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. In the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is a response to covenant violations, idolatry, and moral corruption. It serves as a mechanism for maintaining divine justice and holiness. The Israelites understood God's wrath as both a warning and a call to repentance, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement.
