of the stirred-up indignation
| Root | ὀργή (orgē) |
| Core Meanings | anger, wrath, indignation, passionate impulse, punitive judgment |
| Semantic Range | anger, wrath, indignation, fierce passion, divine judgment, punitive retribution |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὀργή often denotes not merely human anger but the righteous and judicial indignation of God against injustice and covenant unfaithfulness. It conveys the idea of a morally charged response that issues in judgment, emphasizing both emotional intensity and enacted justice. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,); denotes possession, source, or relational description; singular feminine form of ὀργή. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form ὀργῆς is rendered "of the stirred-up indignation" to reflect its grammatical case (genitive, expressing possession, source, or association) and singular number. "Stirred-up" preserves the root sense of an inner excitation or rising impulse (from ὀρέγομαι, to reach or stretch toward), highlighting wrath as an aroused, active passion rather than a static emotion. |
