Strong's Lexicon charon: Fury, Wrath, Anger Original Word: חָרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרָה (charah), which means "to burn" or "to be hot." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (ὀργή, orgē): Often translated as "wrath" or "anger," used in the New Testament to describe both human and divine anger. - G2372 (θυμός, thymos): Translated as "wrath" or "fury," indicating a passionate outburst of anger. Usage: The term "charon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote intense anger or wrath, often associated with divine judgment or human emotion. It conveys a sense of burning indignation or fierce displeasure. In many instances, it is used to describe God's righteous anger against sin and disobedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of anger and wrath were often depicted as burning or consuming fire, a metaphor that resonated with the natural elements familiar to the people of that time. The concept of divine wrath was understood as a response to covenant violations, idolatry, and moral corruption. The Israelites were keenly aware of the consequences of provoking God's anger, as seen in their history and religious teachings.
