Usage: The Hebrew word "saar" primarily denotes a storm or tempest, often used to describe natural phenomena such as a whirlwind or a violent storm. As a verb, it conveys the action of storming or raging, often used metaphorically to describe turmoil or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment.
