It is associated with intense, uncontrollable power, whether in the form of natural phenomena or divine anger. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to God's righteous indignation against sin and disobedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, floods were both feared and revered as symbols of divine power and judgment. The imagery of a flood was commonly used to describe overwhelming destruction or divine retribution. In the Hebrew Bible, such imagery underscores the seriousness of God's judgment and the need for repentance and obedience to His commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/7858.htm">sheteph</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>little <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7857.htm">shataph</a> (for alliteration with <a href="/hebrew/7110.htm">qetseph</a>); an outburst (of anger) -- little. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7857.htm">shataph</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7110.htm">qetseph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּשֶׁ֣צֶף בשצף bə·še·ṣep̄ bəšeṣep̄ beShetzef<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/isaiah/54-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 54:8</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/54.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> בְּשֶׁ֣צֶף </b> קֶ֗צֶף הִסְתַּ֨רְתִּי</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/54.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">In a little</span> wrath I hid<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/54-8.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">A little</span> of anger hid<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8241.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8241.htm">Strong's Hebrew 8241<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/beshetzef_8241.htm">bə·še·ṣep̄ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/8240b.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="8240b"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="8240b" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/8242.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="8242"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="8242" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
