    Both forms occur in aorist active indicative clauses. In Hebrews 3:10 the first-person form is followed by the statement that the generation always went astray in heart and did not know God's ways; in Hebrews 3:17 the third-person form is asked of those who sinned and whose bodies fell in the desert. The APB renders the relevant clauses with "was angry" and "was he angry."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "was angry" in Hebrews 3:10 and "was he angry" in Hebrews 3:17. These are translation renderings of the clauses rather than definitions.
