It often conveys a sense of deep displeasure or indignation. In the biblical context, it can describe both human emotions and divine reactions to sin or disobedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as anger were often seen as powerful forces that could lead to both constructive and destructive outcomes. Anger was not inherently sinful but needed to be controlled and directed appropriately. The expression of anger was often linked to justice and righteousness, especially when it reflected God's response to human sinfulness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2196.htm">zaaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>vexed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>vexed (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">זָעֵף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>out of humour, vexed</b></font>, only of Ahab <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/20-43.htm">1 Kings 20:43</a>;
