It conveys a sense of burning indignation or fury, reflecting both the intensity and the consuming nature of the emotion. In the context of the Bible, "chema" is frequently used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and disobedience, as well as human anger that can lead to destructive outcomes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, emotions such as anger were often described using metaphors of heat and fire, which are powerful and consuming forces. The concept of divine wrath was not unique to Israel but was a common theme in the religious texts of surrounding nations. However, in the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is portrayed as a just response to covenant violations and moral failures, emphasizing His holiness and justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/2534.htm">chemah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rage<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>anger (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">חְֶמָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rage</b></font>;
