SIBI-P1 H2534-11

his burning-heat

Rootיחם (y-ḥ-m)
Core Meaningsheat, warmth, being hot, becoming inflamed, burning passion
Semantic RangeLiteral heat or warmth; figurative burning anger, wrath, fury, indignation; by extension venom or poison (as burning in effect).
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, חֵמָה often depicts divine wrath as burning heat—an intense, consuming response to covenant breach or injustice. The imagery connects emotional anger with physical heat, portraying judgment as something that flares up and consumes like fire.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun (construct) חֲמַת־ with 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ, literally "heat-of him." The construct form links the noun directly to the suffix, marking possession.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֵמָה derives from the root יחם, conveying heat or burning intensity. As a feminine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, it literally means "the heat of him," hence "his burning-heat," preserving both the possessive element and the root idea of inflamed heat that metaphorically expresses wrath.
