Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐμβριμάομαι [page 206]
We can produce no fresh evidence to throw light on the meaning of this difficult verb in the NT, but the LXX usage ( Dan_11:30 , cf. Psa. 7꞉ 12 Aq. [MT Psa_7:11 ] , Isa_17:13 Sm ) is in favour of the meaning am angry, express violent displeasure, perhaps with the added idea of within oneself. See Allen on Mar_1:43 , and Souter Lex. s.v.
