Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גּוּר (gur), which means "to sojourn" or "to dwell as a foreigner."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G684 (aphobia): This Greek term refers to the absence of fear, often used in the New Testament to describe a state of confidence or assurance in God's presence.
• G3940 (paralogizomai): While not a direct equivalent, this term involves deception or miscalculation, which can lead to fear or anxiety when the truth is revealed.
• G4867 (sunagō): This term means "to gather together" and is not directly related to fear, but in certain contexts, gatherings can be associated with fear or anticipation of events.

The Hebrew concept of מָגוֹר (magor) emphasizes the profound impact of fear as a response to divine intervention or judgment, reflecting the broader biblical theme of reverence and awe before God's power.

Usage: The word מָגוֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations of fear or terror, often in the context of divine judgment or impending disaster. It is a noun that captures the emotional response to threatening or alarming events.

Context: • מָגוֹר (magor) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that encapsulates the concept of fear or terror. It is often used in prophetic literature to describe the emotional state of individuals or nations facing divine retribution or catastrophic events. The term is closely associated with the idea of being overwhelmed by fear due to the presence of a formidable threat.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מָגוֹר is translated in contexts that highlight the intensity of fear experienced by those who are confronted with the power and judgment of God. For example, in Jeremiah 20:3-4, the prophet Jeremiah uses the term to describe the terror that will befall those who oppose God's will: "The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, 'The LORD has called you not Pashhur, but Magor-missabib. For this is what the LORD says: I will make you a terror to yourself and all your friends.'"
• The use of מָגוֹר in the Hebrew Bible underscores the seriousness of divine warnings and the inevitable consequences of ignoring them. It serves as a reminder of the power and authority of God, as well as the vulnerability of humans in the face of divine judgment.
