This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe similar emotional states, such as in John 11:33, where Jesus is deeply moved in spirit and troubled. The connection between רְגַז and βριμάομαι highlights the continuity of expressing intense emotional responses across the biblical languages.

Context: רְגַז (regaz) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, notably in the book of Daniel. This term is used to describe the intense emotional state of individuals who are experiencing a profound sense of anger or agitation. In Daniel 3:13, for example, King Nebuchadnezzar is described as being in a state of rage and fury when he commands Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be brought before him. The use of רְגַז in this context highlights the king's violent emotional reaction to the perceived defiance of his command. The term underscores the intensity of the king's anger, which leads to drastic and immediate action. This word is part of the broader semantic field of anger and agitation in the biblical text, illustrating the human experience of powerful emotions and their consequences.
