Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G3398 (μικρός, mikros), which means "small" or "little." While G3398 does not directly translate to the concept of an outburst, it is included here for reference as part of the broader lexical study of related terms. The Greek term does not carry the same connotation of wrath or anger as שֶׁצֶף, highlighting the unique aspects of the Hebrew concept.

Usage: The term שֶׁצֶף (shetṣep̄) is used in the context of a sudden and intense expression of anger or wrath. It is often associated with divine anger or judgment.

Context: The Hebrew word שֶׁצֶף (shetṣep̄) appears in the Old Testament to describe a sudden and intense outburst of anger, often attributed to God. This term is used to convey the idea of divine wrath that is both fierce and immediate. The concept of שֶׁצֶף is closely related to the themes of judgment and retribution, where God's righteous anger is unleashed against sin and disobedience.

In the Berean Standard Bible, שֶׁצֶף is translated in contexts that emphasize the severity and swiftness of God's response to human actions. The word captures the intensity of God's displeasure and serves as a warning of the consequences of turning away from His commandments.

The use of שֶׁצֶף in the Hebrew Bible underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the certainty of His justice. It serves as a reminder of the need for repentance and obedience to avoid the outpouring of divine wrath.
