Berean Strong's Lexicon mammegurah: Fear, Terror Original Word: מַמְּגוּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root מָגוּר (magur), which relates to the concept of fear or terror. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of fear or terror is φόβος (phobos), Strong's Greek 5401, which also conveys fear, dread, or reverence. Usage: The term "mammegurah" is used to denote a state of fear or terror. It conveys a deep sense of dread or anxiety, often in the context of impending danger or divine judgment. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the emotional response of individuals or groups when faced with overwhelming threats or the presence of God’s awe-inspiring power. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear was a common response to both natural and supernatural phenomena. The Israelites lived in a world where threats from neighboring nations, natural disasters, and divine retribution were ever-present realities. The concept of fear, especially in relation to God, was not merely about being afraid but also encompassed reverence and awe. The fear of the Lord was considered the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), indicating a profound respect and acknowledgment of God's power and authority.
