Strong's Lexicon Appayim: Nostrils, Face, Anger Original Word: אַפַּיִם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָף (aph), meaning "nose" or "anger." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Appayim," the concept of anger or wrath is often translated in the New Testament with words like ὀργή (orgē - Strong's Greek 3709) or θυμός (thymos - Strong's Greek 2372). Usage: The term "Appayim" is primarily used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the nostrils or face, often in a figurative sense to express anger or wrath. The dual form suggests a focus on the nostrils as a part of the face, which in ancient Hebrew thought, was associated with the expression of emotions, particularly anger. The word is often used in contexts where God's anger or human emotion is being described. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the face, and particularly the nose, was seen as a significant indicator of emotion. The flaring of the nostrils was a common physical manifestation of anger. In Hebrew, the same word can denote both the physical aspect of the face and the emotional state of anger, reflecting a holistic view of human expression. This understanding is consistent with the biblical portrayal of God as having human-like emotions, allowing for a more relatable depiction of divine interactions with humanity.
