SIBI-P1 H3708-03
his vexation
| Root | כעס (k-ʿ-s) |
| Core Meanings | vexation, provocation, irritation, anger, grief |
| Semantic Range | anger, indignation, provocation, grief, irritation, spite, wrath |
| Conceptual Significance | כעס often conveys not only emotional anger but a provoked state of inner turmoil, whether human or divine. When attributed to YHWH, it expresses covenantal displeasure in response to unfaithfulness; when human, it reflects the destructive or sorrowful effects of provocation and wounded honor. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (construct form) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix: "his." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root כעס, expressing inner agitation or provoked anger. Rendering it as "his vexation" preserves the sense of stirred irritation or indignation inherent in the root, while the possessive "his" accurately reflects the masculine singular noun in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
