Strong's Lexicon chema: Wrath, fury, heat, anger Original Word: חֱמָא Word Origin: Derived from the root חָמָה (chamah), which means "to be hot" or "to burn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (orge): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," used in the New Testament to describe both human and divine anger. - G2372 (thumos): Translated as "wrath" or "fury," indicating a passionate or intense form of anger. Usage: The Hebrew word "chema" primarily denotes intense anger or wrath, often associated with divine judgment or human emotion. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
