It can refer to the physical process of fermentation, as in the making of wine, or to the foaming of water. In a metaphorical sense, it can describe the stirring up of emotions, such as anger or passion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, wine was a common beverage, and its fermentation process was well understood. The imagery of boiling or fermenting was often used to describe the intensity of emotions or situations. The process of fermentation, which involves transformation and change, can symbolize the inner workings of the heart and mind, reflecting the cultural understanding of human emotions as dynamic and powerful forces.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">חָמַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ferment, boil or foam up</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb033003.gif"> <em>ferment, leaven</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb033004.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb033005.gif"> noun <em>leaven</em>; see Lag<sup>BN 207</sup>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וְיַיִן ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/75-9.htm">Psalm 75:9</a> <em>and wine which foams</em>, (others from IV. <font class="hebrew2">חמר</font> <em>be red</em>); 3 plural <font class="hebrew2">חָֽמְרוּ</font> is suggested by We as possible <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/3-15.htm">Habakkuk 3:15</a> (for <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> <font class="hebrew2">חֹמֶר</font> q. v.) the <em>great waters foamed</em>; <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine plural <font class="hebrew2">יֶחֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/46-4.htm">Psalm 46:4</a> <em>let its water roar and foam</em>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pe`al`al</b></font> <em>Perfect passive</em>3plural <font class="hebrew2">מֵעַי חֳמַרְמָ֑רוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/1-20.htm">Lamentations 1:20</a> <em>my bowels are in a ferment</em> ("" <font class="hebrew2">נֶהְמַּךְ לִבִּי</font>), of distressat calamities of Jerusalem; so <font class="hebrew2">חֳמַרְמְרוּ מֵעַי</font> <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/2-11.htm">Lamentations 2:11</a>. — <a href="/interlinear/job/16-16.htm">Job 16:16</a> see IV. <font class="hebrew2">חמר</font>. <p> II.
