Strong's Lexicon rethach: Wrath, boiling, heat Original Word: רֶתַח Word Origin: Derived from the root רָתַח (rathach), meaning "to boil" or "to be hot." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is θυμός (thumos), which also denotes wrath or intense passion. Usage: The term "rethach" is used to convey intense heat or boiling, often metaphorically representing intense emotions such as wrath or anger. It captures the idea of something that is fervent or seething, much like a pot of water that is boiling over. In the biblical context, it can describe the fierce anger of God or the heated emotions of individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of heat and boiling was often used metaphorically to describe emotions and divine actions. The imagery of boiling was a powerful way to communicate the intensity and consuming nature of emotions like anger. In a society where cooking and boiling were daily activities, this metaphor would have been easily understood by the people.
