As a verb, it conveys the action of storming or raging, often used metaphorically to describe turmoil or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment. The Israelites, living in a region where sudden and violent storms could occur, would have understood "saar" as a powerful symbol of God's might and sovereignty. Storms were also associated with chaos and disorder, contrasting with God's ability to bring peace and order.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
