This paper explores how one Hebrew lexeme, <em>rûaḥ</em>, provides a point of entry into the complex world of how emotions are expressed in ancient texts. Drawing from some insights of Cognitive Linguistics, it examines the use of <em>rûaḥ </em>to express the experience of impatience and patience, and arrogance and humility. This paper then challenges a long-held but simplistic equation of <em>rûaḥ </em>with <em>anger</em>, and argues that a more nuanced and complex relationship exists between lexeme and emotion than most citations in scholarship suggest.</p>}, number={3}, journal={The Biblical Annals}, author={Atwood, Joel}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={333–352} }
