SIBI-P1 H2534-11
his burning-heat
| Root | יחם (y-ḥ-m) |
| Core Meanings | heat, warmth, being hot, becoming inflamed, burning passion |
| Semantic Range | Literal heat or warmth; figurative burning anger, wrath, fury, indignation; by extension venom or poison (as burning in effect). |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Common 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 Rationale | The 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. |
