It can also be used metaphorically to describe idols that evoke fear or reverence. Context: אֵימָה appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating its dual connotations of fear and idolatry. In Genesis 15:12, the term is used to describe the "dreadful darkness" that fell upon Abram, signifying a profound, divine encounter: "As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him." This usage underscores the overwhelming nature of divine presence and revelation.
