Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5401 (phobos): Often translated as "fear" or "terror," used in the New Testament to describe both reverential fear of God and fear of man or circumstances. Usage: The Hebrew word "pachad" primarily denotes a sense of fear or dread. It is often used in the context of an overwhelming sense of terror or anxiety, whether in anticipation of a future event or in response to a present threat. In the Old Testament, "pachad" can refer to both the fear of God, which is a reverential awe, and the fear of enemies or impending danger. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fear was a common human experience, often associated with the unpredictability of life, warfare, and divine judgment. The fear of God was considered a foundational aspect of wisdom and piety, as it acknowledged God's supreme power and authority.
