Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 1167: δειλός (deilos) • meaning "timid" or "fearful."
Strong's Greek Number 5399: φοβέω (phobeo) • meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid."

These Greek terms correspond to the Hebrew יָגוֹר in conveying the concept of fear and apprehension, whether in the context of human emotion or in response to divine encounters.

Usage: This word is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of fear or apprehension. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are experiencing fear due to impending danger or divine judgment.

Context: יָגוֹר (Yagor) appears in the Hebrew Bible as an adjective describing a state of fearfulness. The term is rooted in the verb יָגַר (yagar), which conveys the action of fearing or being afraid. This word is used to depict the emotional response of individuals when confronted with situations that evoke fear, such as threats from enemies or the presence of divine power. The concept of fear in the biblical context often carries a dual aspect: the natural human response to danger and the reverential awe towards God. In the Berean Standard Bible, יָגוֹר is translated as "fearful," capturing the essence of trepidation and anxiety that accompanies the human experience in the face of overwhelming circumstances. The usage of יָגוֹר in the biblical narrative serves to highlight the vulnerability of humanity and the need for divine intervention and assurance.
