SIBI-P1 H2196-02
and he boiled up in anger
| Root | זעף (z-ʿ-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | boiling up, agitation, vexation, anger, indignation |
| Semantic Range | to be angry, to be enraged, to be vexed, to be resentful, to show indignation, to be sullen or downcast |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb captures the inner surge of anger as something that rises or boils within a person, reflecting the Hebrew tendency to describe emotions in vivid, physical imagery. It underscores the intensity and embodied nature of wrath in biblical narrative contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ (waw-consecutive) prefixed to Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form יִּזְעַף, functioning as a narrative past (wayyiqtol): "and he boiled up." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root זעף conveys the idea of boiling up or becoming agitated, which metaphorically expresses anger. Rendering it as "boiled up in anger" preserves the vivid root imagery while reflecting the Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) form, third masculine singular: "and he" in past narrative sequence. |
