It can also refer to the physical aspect of the nostrils or face, as the flaring of nostrils is associated with intense emotion, particularly anger. In some contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe the intensity of God's emotions or actions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions were often expressed through physical manifestations. The nose or nostrils were seen as indicators of one's emotional state, particularly anger. This is reflected in the language, where "aph" can mean both "nostril" and "anger." The concept of divine wrath was understood as a response to covenant unfaithfulness, idolatry, and moral corruption, emphasizing God's holiness and justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/637.htm">aph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>also<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>also (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>also <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/637.htm">'aph</a> -- also. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/637.htm">'aph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְ֠אַף וְאַ֤ף וְאַ֧ף ואף veAf wə’ap̄ wə·’ap̄<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְאַ֧ף </b> שְׁמָהָתְהֹ֛ם שְׁאֵ֥לְנָא</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">We also</span> asked them their names<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> their names <span class="itali">also,</span> to certify<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">also</span> their names asked<p><b><a href="/text/ezra/5-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְ֠אַף </b> מָאנַיָּ֣א דִֽי־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">Also</span> the gold and silver<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> And the vessels <span class="itali">also</span> of gold<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">Also</span> utensils which<p><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְ֠אַף </b> מָאנֵ֣י בֵית־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">Also</span> let the gold and silver<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">And also</span> let the golden and silver<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">Also</span> utensils of the house<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/6-22.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 6:22</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הִשְׁתְּכַ֣חַת לִ֔י <b> וְאַ֤ף </b> [קָדָמַיִךְ כ]</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> before <span class="itali">Him;
