To become angry or wrathful (Aramaic)
The Aramaic verb for burning anger, used in Daniel's account of Nebuchadnezzar's rage when told his wise men cannot reveal his dream. This is not mild irritation but royal fury that threatens death for all the kingdom's sages. The king's wrath reveals the absolute power of ancient Near Eastern monarchs and the precariousness of courtiers' lives. Yet this same story shows God's sovereignty over even rage-filled emperors - Daniel not only survives the crisis but interprets the very dream that triggered the king's anger. Where human wrath threatens destruction, divine wisdom brings deliverance.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Found only in Daniel 2:12 in the Aramaic section describing Nebuchadnezzar's reaction to his advisors' failure. Spanish uses 'se enfureció' (became furious), German 'Zorn' (wrath), capturing intense anger. The verb appears in a context of absolute royal power and life-threatening rage. This triggers the narrative crisis that allows Daniel to demonstrate God's wisdom surpasses Babylonian magic and establishes his position in the empire. 1×
