Usage: The Greek verb "τρέμω" (tremó) is used to describe a physical or emotional response of trembling or quaking, often due to fear, awe, or reverence. It conveys a sense of being deeply moved or shaken, either physically or spiritually. In the New Testament, it is often associated with a reaction to the divine presence or judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, trembling was a common expression of fear or reverence, especially in the presence of something perceived as powerful or divine. This reaction was not only physical but also symbolic of a deeper acknowledgment of one's own limitations or unworthiness. In Jewish tradition, trembling before God was seen as an appropriate response to His holiness and majesty.
