| Summary: | The story of the Flood in the Hebrew Bible contains all the elements of the prototypical ancient Israelite concept of anger. Divine fury is commonly provoked by human wrongdoing and followed by an act of retribution in this case, the Flood. Genesis 6:6 vividly descriptionbes God's rage in metaphorical terms. Yet researchers have shied away from interpreting the emotion descriptionbed in this verse as fury. This reluctance is partly attributable to the fact that the formalist approach to the study of Classical Hebrew has dominated most of the current research on this text. |
