and burning-of
| Root | חרה (ḥ-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | to burn, to be kindled, to grow hot, to be angry |
| Semantic Range | burning heat, kindled anger, wrath, fierce displeasure, fury |
| Conceptual Significance | This term frames anger—often divine anger—as a consuming fire or heat, emphasizing intensity and relational rupture. In biblical theology, the "burning-of" YHWH underscores both His moral responsiveness to covenant breach and the seriousness of injustice and idolatry. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ prefixed to masculine singular construct noun חֲרוֹן from חרה. Construct state indicates it governs a following genitive (e.g., "burning-of YHWH"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָרוֹן derives from the root חרה (“to burn, be kindled”) and denotes a burning heat, especially of anger. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed conjunction וַ (“and”), so "and burning-of" preserves both the singular construct relationship and the underlying imagery of heat that expresses anger. |
