It is reasonable to think that that a word may have different meanings. It is also possible that copyist misplaced or heard the sound incorrectly due to one’s pronounciation of that word.
In my opinion, the context may provide a clearer interpretation of a word. In Genesis 34, the narrative about the two sons of Simon and Levi taking revenge on the city by attacking it with their swords. The reference to house, dead bodies, looting the city indicate that it is a place, not a feeling.
Genesis 34 says this, “Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male. 26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where[c] their sister had been defiled. 28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields. 29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses” (NIV).
Certainly, Simon and Levi had strong feelings about their sister and their passionate feeling of getting revenge on Haman. It may be a crime of passion but that crime took place in a specific location. The emphasis is more on their cruel action upon that city.
