Berean Strong's Lexicon samar: To bristle, stand erect, shudder Original Word: סָמַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific nuance of "samar," the concept of fear or awe can be related to Greek words such as "φόβος" (phobos - Strong's Greek 5401), meaning fear or reverence. Usage: The Hebrew verb "samar" primarily conveys the idea of something standing on end, such as hair or fur bristling. It is often used metaphorically to describe a reaction of fear or awe, where one's hair stands on end due to an intense emotional experience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical reactions such as hair standing on end were often seen as manifestations of internal emotional or spiritual states. The concept of fear or awe causing a physical reaction was understood as a natural response to encountering the divine or experiencing something profoundly unsettling or awe-inspiring.
