- G2372 (θυμός, thymos): Refers to a passionate or intense form of anger, sometimes used in the context of divine wrath.

Usage: The Hebrew word "abarah" primarily denotes a sense of intense anger or wrath, often used in the context of divine judgment or human emotional outbursts. It conveys the idea of an overwhelming or overflowing anger that leads to action or consequence. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with God's righteous indignation against sin and injustice.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of divine wrath was understood as a response to covenantal unfaithfulness and moral transgressions. The Israelites believed that God's anger was not arbitrary but was a just response to human actions that violated His laws and commands. This understanding of divine wrath served as a deterrent against sin and a call to repentance and obedience.
