Strong's Lexicon qetsaphah: Wrath, Indignation Original Word: קְצָפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצַף (qatsaph), meaning "to be angry" or "to be wroth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3709 (ὀργή, orgē) - often translated as "wrath" or "anger" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of divine indignation. Usage: The term "qetsaphah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of intense anger or wrath, often associated with divine judgment. It conveys a sense of fierce indignation, typically in response to sin or disobedience. The word is used to describe both human and divine anger, though it is more frequently associated with God's righteous indignation against the sins of His people or the nations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of divine wrath was a common theme. Deities were often portrayed as being capable of intense anger, especially in response to violations of covenantal agreements or moral laws. In the Hebrew Bible, God's wrath is not arbitrary but is a response to human sinfulness and rebellion. It serves as a means of correction and a call to repentance, emphasizing God's holiness and justice.
