קִצָּפוֹן, (preced. wds.) anger. Lev. R. s. 32 (ref. to ויקצף, Deut. I, 34) להם הוא ק׳ ולי מה אני ק׳ וכ׳ to them it appears as anger, but to myself what does anger mean? ‘I swore by my anger’ (Ps. XCV, 11), I swear by my anger and reconsider; Yalk. ib. 657. Esth. R. to I, 18 כדאי הוא הבזיון … לק׳ שקצף וכ׳ the disrespect with which her (Vashti’s) father treated the vessels of the Temple is enough to deserve the wrath which he (Ahasverus) vented on her and put her to death. Ib. כדי הק׳ לבזיון זה the anger (of Ahasverus) corresponds to this contempt (shown by Vashti), v. קְצִיפָה. Ib. to II, 21 מה ק׳ היה שם what cause was there for discontent? Sifra Sh’mini, Par. 1, ch. II (ref. to Lev. X, 16) אף אהרן היה בק׳ Aaron, too, was included in the anger (of Moses). Pesik. Vattom., p. 130ᵇ אין ק׳ הוא (not קצפין), v. קְצִיפָה.
