Topical Lexicon
Overview

יָרֵא appears approximately three hundred thirty-one times in the Old Testament, embracing the spectrum from terror before danger to reverent awe before the LORD. The context determines whether the fear is crippling or faith-filled, yet Scripture consistently urges the latter as the only right and life-giving posture toward God.

Fear as Reverence and Worship

The first explicit commendation occurs when Abraham is stopped from sacrificing Isaac: “Do not lay a hand on the boy… for now I know that you fear God” (Genesis 22:12). From then on, fearing God becomes synonymous with honoring Him, keeping covenant, and delighting in His presence. Israel is commanded, “Fear the LORD your God and serve Him” (Deuteronomy 6:13), coupling fear with worship and exclusive loyalty.

Fear as Moral Motivation and Covenant Loyalty

Fear establishes ethical boundaries. Egyptian midwives “feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had told them” (Exodus 1:17). Later, Moses reminds judges, “Fear God and show no partiality” (2 Chronicles 19:7). The fear of the LORD undergirds personal holiness: “By the fear of the LORD a man turns away from evil” (Proverbs 16:6).

Fear as Response to Divine Revelation

Mount Sinai shook with thunder so “all the people in the camp trembled” (Exodus 19:16). Yet the purpose was not mere dread but covenant consecration: “God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him will be with you to keep you from sinning” (Exodus 20:20). Isaiah prophesies of Messiah that “His delight will be in the fear of the LORD” (Isaiah 11:3), indicating perfection of reverent obedience in Christ.

Fear in the Exodus and Conquest Narratives

Israel vacillated between godly fear and crippling fear of enemies. At the Red Sea they “feared the LORD and believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses” (Exodus 14:31). Conversely, fear of giants in Canaan bred rebellion (Deuteronomy 1:29-32). The narrative illustrates that misplaced fear leads to disobedience, while proper fear brings victory.

Fear in Wisdom Literature

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7) and “the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). It prolongs life (Proverbs 10:27), provides strong confidence (Proverbs 14:26-27), and is better than great treasure (Proverbs 15:16). Ecclesiastes reaches its climactic verdict: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

Fear in the Psalms

The Psalms transform fear into praise. “Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him” (Psalm 33:8). The fearer finds refuge: “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him” (Psalm 34:7). Fear grants intimacy: “The LORD confides in those who fear Him” (Psalm 25:14). It is rewarded with provision (Psalm 34:9) and steadfast love “from everlasting to everlasting” (Psalm 103:17).

Fear in the Prophets

Prophets indict Israel for lacking fear (Jeremiah 2:19) and promise a new covenant in which God “will put fear of Me in their hearts so they will never turn away from Me” (Jeremiah 32:40). Malachi foresees a book of remembrance for those “who feared the LORD and esteemed His name” (Malachi 3:16). The eschatological remnant is distinguished by godly fear.

Fear and Kingship

Kings were evaluated by their fear of God. David testified, “He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God” (2 Samuel 23:3). Righteous Josiah’s reforms flowed from trembling at the word (2 Kings 22:19). Conversely, those like Jeroboam lacked such fear and led Israel into sin.

Fear in Daily Life and Community Ethics

Economic justice arises from fear of God. Nehemiah rebuked nobles for usury, declaring, “Should you not walk in the fear of our God?” (Nehemiah 5:9). Employers were to treat servants fairly “knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven” (Colossians 4:1, Greek parallel), reflecting continuity of the principle.

Proper and Improper Fear

Scripture contrasts fear of God with fear of man. “Do not fear what they fear” (Isaiah 8:12-13) but “regard the LORD of Hosts as holy.” Improper fear leads to idolatry, oppression, or cowardice; proper fear yields obedience, courage, and joy. Psalm 112:1 merges both: “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.”

Notable Individuals Who Feared God

• Job: “That man was blameless… and he feared God and shunned evil” (Job 1:1).
• Joseph: A ruler “who feared God” (Genesis 42:18).
• Obadiah: “He feared the LORD greatly” and hid prophets (1 Kings 18:3-4).
• Early church: Though beyond the Hebrew text, Acts records converts as “God-fearing” echoing יָרֵא.

Eschatological and Messianic Dimensions

Isaiah 33:6 links fear with end-time stability: “He will be the sure foundation for your times… and the fear of the LORD is His treasure.” Revelation echoes, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come” (Revelation 14:7), showing the enduring call across covenants.

Continuity into the New Testament

Greek φόβος often carries the same reverent sense (e.g., Philippians 2:12). Peter cites Proverbs: “Conduct yourselves in fear during your stay as foreigners” (1 Peter 1:17), rooting Christian holiness in the Old Testament paradigm of יָרֵא.

Implications for Christian Ministry and Discipleship

1. Preaching must aim at producing reverent awe, not mere information.
2. Worship services should cultivate humility, joy, and obedience reflective of Psalm 2:11: “Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.”
3. Discipleship emphasizes that godly fear expels sinful fear (Matthew 10:28) and empowers mission (2 Corinthians 5:11).
4. Leadership accountability rests on fearing God above people, ensuring justice and integrity.

Godly fear, therefore, is not a relic of ancient religion but the cornerstone of authentic faith, maintaining continuity from Genesis to Revelation and energizing believers for holy living and steadfast hope.
