This Models restraint of wrath through intercession and mercy.<\/li>\n<li>Leviticus 19:17\u201318 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou shall not hate your brother\u2026 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Wrath expressed as vengeance is forbidden; love replaces wrath.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 9:19\u201320 Moses fears God\u2019s wrath against Israel but intercedes again. Divine wrath is real but tempered; human response is prayer, not retaliation.<\/li>\n<li>Deuteronomy 19:6, 12 Cities of refuge prevent the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cavenger of blood\u201d<\/em><\/span> from acting in wrath. Legal structures restrain wrath-driven vengeance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Key Observations &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wrath condemned<\/span>: Jacob\u2019s words in Genesis 49 are the clearest Torah parallel, wrath is not just dangerous, it is cursed.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wrath restrained<\/span>: Exodus and Deuteronomy show God\u2019s wrath, but also His willingness to relent. This models that wrath should not be indulged but tempered.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wrath redirected<\/span>: Leviticus forbids vengeance and grudges, replacing wrath with love. Wrath contained: Cities of refuge institutionalize restraint, preventing wrath from escalating into bloodshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Torah\u2019s treatment of wrath is multi-layered:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Narrative<\/span>: Wrath is condemned (Genesis 49) and shown as dangerous (Exodus 32).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Law<\/span>: Wrath-driven vengeance is forbidden (Leviticus 19) and restrained by legal structures (Deuteronomy 19).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Covenant ethic<\/span>: Wrath is replaced by love, mercy, and justice, the same ethic Paul reaffirms in Colossians.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, Paul\u2019s \u201cput off wrath\u201d is essentially a Torah-shaped ethic: wrath is cursed, restrained, and forbidden, while love and mercy are commanded instead. Note, the Torah distinguishes between the two impulses (anger as inner emotion, wrath as outward destructive force) and Paul collapses both into behaviors to be discarded? This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual Summary of Concepts the Torah in the NT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-1024x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-200x109.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-1536x838.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-2048x1117.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-770x420.png 770w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-696x380.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-677-1068x583.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Put Off Wrath &#8211; Episode 677 Colossians 3:8 \u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b8\u05dc \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05e2\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc \u05d2\u05b7\u05bc\u05dd \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4\u05c3 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b9\u05d2\u05b6\u05d6 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05e2\u05b7\u05e1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e9\u05b7\u05c1\u05e2 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d2\u05b4\u05bc\u05d3\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05e0\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05dc \u05d4\u05b7\u05e4\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Colossians 3:8 3:8 But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24250,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[335,336,337,334,338],"class_list":{"0":"post-24248","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-covenantcharacter","10":"tag-putoffwrath","11":"tag-torahethic","12":"tag-torahincolossians","13":"tag-wrathtomercy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24251,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24248\/revisions\/24251"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
