Berean Strong's Lexicon magor or magur: Fear, terror, dwelling place, sojourning Original Word: מָגוֹר or מָגוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גּוּר (gur), which means "to sojourn" or "to dwell as a foreigner." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "magor" is φόβος (phobos), which also means fear or terror. Usage: The Hebrew word "magor" or "magur" primarily conveys the idea of fear or terror, often in the context of impending danger or divine judgment. It can also refer to a dwelling place or the act of sojourning, highlighting the transient and sometimes precarious nature of life. The dual meanings reflect both the emotional state of fear and the physical state of dwelling or sojourning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of sojourning was significant, as the Israelites themselves were sojourners in Egypt before settling in the Promised Land. The transient nature of life as a sojourner often brought about feelings of vulnerability and fear, especially in a foreign land. This cultural backdrop helps to understand the dual usage of "magor" as both a physical and emotional state.
