se.a.rah denotes a violent storm or tempest, portrayed as raising waves, scattering objects, and accompanying divine action.

The term denotes a violent storm or tempest: it raises waves and can be stilled, scatters what is exposed to it, and appears with rain, hail, fire, or wind. Several verses also place it in scenes of divine speech, judgment, appearance, or ascent, without requiring a separate meaning from the storm itself.

1. Violent storm or tempest · dominant

   The singular form names the force that raises waves in Psalm 107:25 and is brought to silence in Psalm 107:29; in Isaiah 40:24 it carries away withered growth like stubble, and in Isaiah 41:16 it scatters. The same noun occurs amid destructive rain and hail in Ezekiel 13:11 and Ezekiel 13:13, and it also frames divine action: in Job 38:1 the APB renders that the LORD answered Job "from the tempest," while 2 Kings 2:11 places Elijah's ascent "by the tempest."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the storm scene with "tempest," "stormy wind," and "whirlwind," alongside rain, hail, waves, scattering, and divine appearances. These English expressions show the verses' contexts rather than establishing separate renderings of the lemma.
