# אֶמְרָה (im.rah) — A Single Biblical Threat The Hebrew word אֶמְרָה appears only once in the biblical text, making it a rare lexical item. It is defined as "threat"—a statement or indication of intent to cause harm or punishment. This singularity of occurrence severely limits what can be established about its typical usage patterns or semantic range within biblical Hebrew. Because this word appears in only one biblical instance, we cannot determine whether it was a common term in everyday speech, a specialized or formal register word, or perhaps an archaic or regionally specific variant. The single occurrence provides a snapshot of how the concept of "threat" could be expressed in biblical Hebrew at one point, but offers no basis for understanding its frequency of use, its relationship to synonymous terms, or how its meaning might have shifted across different biblical contexts or time periods. For scholars and readers seeking to understand biblical vocabulary, אֶמְרָה serves as a reminder that the Bible's vocabulary is limited and that even documented Hebrew words may appear too infrequently to illuminate broader patterns of meaning or usage.

Lamentations 2:17

Yahweh has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
