It is used to describe a state of being furious or stormy, often in the context of divine or human emotion. The term can also imply a turbulent or tempestuous state, reflecting both internal emotional turmoil and external expressions of wrath.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as anger were often attributed to both humans and deities. The expression of anger was seen as a powerful force, capable of bringing about significant change or destruction. In the biblical context, God's anger is often depicted as a response to sin and disobedience, serving as a catalyst for divine judgment or correction. Human anger, on the other hand, is frequently portrayed as a natural but potentially dangerous emotion that must be controlled and directed appropriately.<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>a storming, raging, rage<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>enraged (1), fierce (1), indignation (1), rage (1), raging (1), wrath (1).<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">זַ֫עַף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>storming, raging, rage</b></font> (in poetry and late) — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ז</font> absolute 2 Chronicles 16:10; 28:9; construct <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-30.htm">Isaiah 30:30</a> 2t.; suffix <font class="hebrew2">זַעְמּוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-15.htm">Jonah 1:15</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>rage</em> of king, leading to violence <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/19-12.htm">Proverbs 19:12</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">נַהַם כַּכְּפִיר</font>), 2 Chronicles 16:10 (<font class="hebrew2">עִמּוֺ עַלזֿאת</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּ</font>; "" <font class="hebrew2">כעס</font>), 2 Chronicles 28:9; <font class="hebrew2">אַף</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ז</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-30.htm">Isaiah 30:30</a> <em>raging</em> of anger (of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>); <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ז</font> <a href="/interlinear/micah/7-9.htm">Micah 7:9</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>raging</em> of sea <a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-15.htm">Jonah 1:15</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>indignation, raging, wrath <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2196.htm">za'aph</a>; anger -- indignation, rage(-ing), wrath. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2196.htm">za'aph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּזַ֣עַף בְזַ֔עַף בְזַ֥עַף בזעף זַ֣עַף זַ֤עַף זעף מִזַּעְפּֽוֹ׃ מזעפו׃ bə·za·‘ap̄ ḇə·za·‘ap̄ bəza‘ap̄ ḇəza‘ap̄ beZaaf miz·za‘·pōw mizza‘pōw mizzaPo veZaaf za‘ap̄ za·‘ap̄ Zaaf<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/2_chronicles/16-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Chronicles 16:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/16.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הַמַּהְפֶּ֔כֶת כִּֽי־ <b> בְזַ֥עַף </b> עִמּ֖וֹ עַל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_chronicles/16.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> him in prison, <span class="itali">for he was enraged</span> at him for this.<br><a href="/kjvs/2_chronicles/16.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> house; <span class="itali">for [he was] in a rage</span> with him because of this [thing].
