face: anger
aph most often occurs in clauses of anger and punishment, while some forms have an unclear contribution in bowing descriptions.
The noun forms most clearly occur in clauses the APB renderings with anger, often anger that burns, is turned away, or is expressed in destructive action. Some occurrences are tagged as an affirmation particle, while dual noun forms appear in bowing descriptions; in those settings the translation does not securely isolate this lemma's contribution.
Senses in use
-
Anger in judgment and response · dominant
Singular noun forms occur in clauses where anger is kindled, burns, turns away, or accompanies punitive action. In Exodus 32:10 the APB renders a call for divine anger to burn and destroy; in Deuteronomy 31:17 it renders anger burning, followed by abandonment and coming troubles; and in Daniel 9:16 it renders a plea for anger and wrath to turn from Jerusalem.
-
Affirmation-particle use in anger clauses · occasional
Several surface forms are tagged as a particle of affirmation rather than as a noun. They occur in verses whose surrounding clauses the APB renders with anger burning, as in 1 Chronicles 13:10 and 2 Samuel 6:7; the translation does not identify a separate English rendering for the particle itself.
-
Dual noun in bowing descriptions · occasional
Dual noun forms occur in descriptions of persons bowing before a king or another person. In 1 Kings 1:31 and 1 Samuel 25:23 the APB renders the actions as bowing with the face to the ground, but The lemma's precise contribution within those descriptions remains uncertain.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the singular noun contexts, the APB commonly uses “anger,” including “burning anger,” “fierce anger,” and anger that “turn[s] away.” In the particle-tagged and dual-noun contexts, its whole-verse translation does not consistently isolate a rendering for this lemma.
