What does "I was angry" mean if it doesn't involve an emotion?

There's also verses like:
Exodus 4:14 "Then the Lord became very angry with Moses"
There are also verses about God having hands, or a face, or other anthropomorphic parts. God is a Spirit being who is unchanging. The Bible is written to communicate a message that men can relate to this is why it uses terms about God that while inaccurate, still make it more possible to understand.

He is love and that verse does not say God has a hand.
Then whose hand was it? When people say God loves them I thought God would feel the emotion....

God is a Spirit.

We have been given a Human spirit.

We feel emotion not just in the soul but also our the spirit.

Spirits feel emotion.

Yes there is anthropomorphism but that does not prove that God is incapable of feeling.

The Bible does not say anything about the ownership of the hand. God is love, if you are with God you feel love and peace.

the anger of God is not literal its in regards to his judgement many orthodox and catholic theologians hold this traditional view because of logical classical theism and wine is Jesus blood correct
