se.a.rah denotes a violent weather event, pictured as causing injury and accompanying the LORD's way.

The two verses use se.a.rah for a violent weather event: in Job it accompanies the speaker's bruising, while in Nahum it stands with whirlwind and cloud in the description of the LORD's way.

Senses in use

  1. Violent weather event · dominant

    Both occurrences are common feminine singular absolute nouns. In Job 9:17 the APB renders the clause "For he bruises me with a tempest," linking the term with the speaker's wounds; in Nahum 1:3 the APB renders "his way is in whirlwind and storm," placing it alongside whirlwind and cloud in the description of the LORD's way.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "a tempest" in Job 9:17 and as "storm" in Nahum 1:3. These renderings confirm the verses' weather imagery without establishing separate senses.
