Berean Strong's Lexicon charag: To be afraid, to tremble Original Word: חָרַג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with fear is "φόβος" (phobos), which also conveys the idea of fear, reverence, or awe. This term is used in the New Testament to describe both the fear of God and the fear of man or circumstances. Usage: The Hebrew verb "charag" primarily conveys a sense of fear or trembling. It is used to describe a physical or emotional reaction to a perceived threat or awe-inspiring event. This term can denote both a reverential fear of God and a fear of impending danger or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fear was often associated with the divine. The fear of the Lord was considered the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), and it was a common theme in the Hebrew Scriptures. Fear could also be a response to natural phenomena, enemies, or divine judgment. Understanding fear in this context involves recognizing both the reverence due to God and the natural human response to danger.
