Nehemiah 13:8

13:8 I was very upset, and I threw all of Tobiah’s household possessions out of the storeroom.

Nehemiah 13:25

13:25 So I entered a complaint with them. I called down a curse on them, and I struck some of the men and pulled out their hair. I had them swear by God saying, “You will not marry off ¹  your daughters to their sons, and you will not take any of their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!

Exodus 11:8

11:8 All these your servants will come down to me and bow down ²  to me, saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow ³  you,’ and after that I will go out.” Then Moses ⁴  went out from Pharaoh in great anger.

Numbers 16:15

16:15 Moses was very angry, and he said to the Lord, “Have no respect ⁵  for their offering! I have not taken so much as one donkey from them, nor have I harmed any one of them!”

Mark 3:5

3:5 After looking around ⁶  at them in anger, grieved by the hardness of their hearts, ⁷  he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. ⁸ 

Ephesians 4:26

4:26 Be angry and do not sin; ⁹  do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger. ¹⁰ 

[13:25]  ¹ tn Heb “give.”

[11:8]  ² sn Moses’ anger is expressed forcefully. “He had appeared before Pharaoh a dozen times either as God’s emissary or when summoned by Pharaoh, but he would not come again; now they would have to search him out if they needed help” (B. Jacob, Exodus, 289-90).

[11:8]  ³ tn Heb “that are at your feet.”

[11:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:15]  ⁵ tn The verb means “to turn toward”; it is a figurative expression that means “to pay attention to” or “to have regard for.” So this is a prayer against Dathan and Abiram.

[3:5]  ⁶ tn The aorist participle περιβλεψάμενος (peribleyameno") has been translated as antecedent (prior) to the action of the main verb. It could also be translated as contemporaneous (“Looking around…he said”).

[3:5]  ⁷ tn This term is a collective singular in the Greek text.

[3:5]  ⁸ sn The passive was restored points to healing by God. Now the question became: Would God exercise his power through Jesus, if what Jesus was doing were wrong? Note also Jesus’ “labor.” He simply spoke and it was so.

[4:26]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Ps 4:4. Although several translations render the phrase Be angry and do not sin as “If you are angry, do not sin” such is unlikely on a grammatical, lexical, and historical level (see D. B. Wallace, “᾿Οργίζεσθε in Ephesians 4:26: Command or Condition?” CTR 3 [1989]: 352-72). The idea of vv. 26-27 is as follows: Christians are to exercise a righteous indignation over sin in the midst of the believing community (v. 26a; note that v. 25 is restricting the discussion to those in the body of Christ). When other believers sin, such people should be gently and quickly confronted (v. 26b), for if the body of Christ does not address sin in its midst, the devil gains a foothold (v. 27). “Entirely opposite of the ‘introspective conscience’ view, this text seems to be a shorthand expression for church discipline, suggesting that there is a biblical warrant for δικαία ὀργή [dikaia orgh] (as the Greeks put it) – righteous indignation” (ExSyn 492).

[4:26]  ¹⁰ tn The word παροργισμός (parorgismo"), typically translated “anger” in most versions is used almost exclusively of the source of anger rather than the results in Greek literature (thus, it refers to an external cause or provocation rather than an internal reaction). The notion of “cause of your anger” is both lexically and historically justified. The apparently proverbial nature of the statement (“Do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger”) finds several remarkable parallels in Pss. Sol. 8:8-9: “(8) God laid bare their sins in the full light of day; All the earth came to know the righteous judgments of God. (9) In secret places underground their iniquities (were committed) to provoke (Him) to anger” (R. H. Charles’ translation). Not only is παροργισμός used, but righteous indignation against God’s own people and the laying bare of their sins in broad daylight are also seen.
