SIBI-P1 H2734-02

you will enflame yourself

Rootחרה (ḥ-r-h)
Core Meaningsto burn, to glow, to grow hot, to blaze up (especially in anger), to be kindled
Semantic Rangeto become angry, to burn with anger, to grow heated emotionally, to blaze up, to be incensed, to kindle oneself
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb vividly portrays anger as internal heat that one kindles within oneself. Biblically, it underscores the embodied, volatile nature of wrath—whether human or divine—and warns against self-stoking indignation that can lead to destructive action.
Morphological NotesHitpael imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd masculine singular from חרה. The Hitpael stem gives a reflexive nuance: “to heat oneself, to become inflamed.”
Rendering RationaleThe root חרה conveys the idea of burning or growing hot, often figuratively of anger. The form תִּתְחַר is Hitpael imperfect 2nd masculine singular, indicating reflexive action (“you will … yourself”), so “you will enflame yourself” preserves both the burning imagery of the root and the reflexive verbal stem addressed to a singular male.
