It conveys a sense of burning indignation and is frequently used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and disobedience. In some contexts, it can also refer to the heat of passion or the fervor of emotion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of anger and wrath were often depicted in vivid, fiery imagery. The concept of divine wrath was not unique to Israel but was a common theme in the religious literature of surrounding cultures. However, in the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is portrayed as a just response to covenant unfaithfulness and moral corruption, emphasizing His holiness and justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>curd<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>butter (2), curds (8).<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">חֶמְאָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>curd</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/18-8.htm">Genesis 18:8</a> 6t.; = <font class="hebrew2">חֵמָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/29-6.htm">Job 29:6</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">חֶמְאַת</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-14.htm">Deuteronomy 32:14</a>; <em>curd, curdled milk</em>, modern <em>labben</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מִיץ חָלָב יוֺצִיא ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/30-33.htm">Proverbs 30:33</a>, elsewhere joined with <font class="hebrew2">חָלָב</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/18-8.htm">Genesis 18:8</a>(J) <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-14.htm">Deuteronomy 32:14</a> (poem; <font class="hebrew2">חֶמְאַת בָּקָר וַחֲלֵב צאֹן</font>), <a href="/interlinear/judges/5-25.htm">Judges 5:25</a> (where served <font class="hebrew2">בְּסֵפֶל אַדִּירִים</font>, see <font class="hebrew2">ספל</font>); with <font class="hebrew2">דְּבַשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/17-29.htm">2 Samuel 17:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/7-15.htm">Isaiah 7:15</a>,22 (twice in verse); compare <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נַחֲלֵי דבשׁ וח</font> figurative of abundance <a href="/interlinear/job/20-17.htm">Job 20:17</a>; <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְחֹץ חֲלִיכַי בְּחֵמָ֑ה</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/29-6.htm">Job 29:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">מַּלְגֵישָֽֿׁמֶן ׃ צוּר יָצוּק</font>). <font size="+1">**</font>On mode of making <em>lebben</em>, by shaking milk in sour milk-skin, see Doughty<sup>Arab.
