Usage: The Hebrew verb "anaph" primarily conveys the idea of being angry or enraged. It is often used to describe the intense anger or wrath of God in response to human sin and disobedience. This term emphasizes a deep, burning anger that leads to action, often in the form of divine judgment or correction.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, anger was a significant emotional response that could lead to both positive and negative outcomes. In the Hebrew Bible, God's anger is portrayed as a righteous and just response to covenant violations, idolatry, and moral corruption. Unlike human anger, which can be capricious and unjust, God's anger is always portrayed as measured and purposeful, aimed at bringing about repentance and restoration.
