SIBI-P1 H3708-06
and vexation-anger
| Root | כעס (k-ʿ-s) |
| Core Meanings | vexation, irritation, provocation, anger, grief |
| Semantic Range | anger, vexation, provocation, grief, irritation, indignation, spite, sorrow caused by offense |
| Conceptual Significance | כַּעַס often describes both human anger and the provocation that arouses divine wrath. It can denote inner emotional turmoil or the act of provoking, highlighting the relational and covenantal consequences of actions that stir grief or indignation, especially in Israel’s relationship with יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa) with prefixed conjunction וָ ("and"). No pronominal suffix; singular abstract noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כַּעַס is a masculine singular noun meaning vexation or anger, derived from the root כעס (k-ʿ-s), which conveys provocation and emotional agitation. The prefixed וָ (waw) is preserved as "and," and the singular form is maintained with the singular abstract noun "vexation-anger" to reflect the root’s dual sense of inward grief and outward irritation. |
