burning-heat

Rootחמם (ḥ-m-m)
Core Meaningsheat, warmth, burning, inflaming, growing hot, rage
Semantic RangeLiteral heat or warmth; figuratively burning anger, wrath, indignation, rage; by extension venom or poison (as burning in effect).
Conceptual Significanceחֵמָה often depicts divine wrath as a consuming heat, portraying anger not merely as emotion but as an active, burning force that brings judgment. The metaphor of heat underscores intensity, inevitability, and the destructive power of covenantal indignation.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa). No pronominal suffix; used as an abstract noun denoting a state or quality.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֵמָה is a feminine singular absolute form derived from the root חמם (“to be hot, to grow warm”). Rendering it as “burning-heat” preserves the core idea of intense heat while allowing for its frequent figurative sense of heated anger or wrath, and it reflects the singular feminine noun form indicated by the morphology.
