Throughout the Old Testament, God's anger is often depicted as a response to covenant unfaithfulness (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/9-7.htm">Deuteronomy 9:7-8</a>). The imagery of God's anger "burning" suggests an intense, consuming wrath, similar to a fire. This is consistent with the biblical portrayal of God as a holy and just deity who cannot tolerate sin (<a href="/habakkuk/1-13.htm">Habakkuk 1:13</a>). The historical context includes Israel's repeated cycles of sin, punishment, repentance, and deliverance during the period of the Judges, as well as their later idolatry during the monarchy. This anger is not arbitrary but is a response to the violation of the covenant relationship established at Sinai (Exodus 19-24).<p><b>and He abhorred His own inheritance</b><br>The term "inheritance" refers to Israel, whom God chose as His special possession among all nations (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-9.htm">Deuteronomy 32:9</a>). To "abhor" means to regard with disgust or hatred, indicating a severe divine displeasure. This reflects the gravity of Israel's sin, which led God to view them with revulsion, despite His covenant promises. The cultural context includes the ancient Near Eastern concept of a deity having a chosen people or land, which was a common motif. However, unlike other deities, the God of Israel's relationship with His people was based on moral and ethical standards. This phrase also connects to prophetic warnings found in books like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where God expresses similar sentiments due to Israel's idolatry and injustice (<a href="/jeremiah/12-7.htm">Jeremiah 12:7-8</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/23-18.htm">Ezekiel 23:18</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who bore the wrath of God on behalf of humanity, becoming the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant promises and restoring the broken relationship between God and His people (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-21.htm">2 Corinthians 5:21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who is holy, just, and righteous.
