• G5401 (phobos): Fear, terror, or reverence, often used in the New Testament to describe the fear of God or fear of judgment.

The Hebrew concept of פַחַד is closely related to these Greek terms, as they all convey aspects of fear, alarm, and reverence, reflecting the human response to divine power and existential threats.

Usage: The term פַחַד is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of fear or alarm that can be experienced by individuals or groups. It is often associated with the fear of God, enemies, or impending judgment.

Context: • Occurrences in the Hebrew Bible: The word פַחַד appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. It is frequently used in poetic and prophetic literature to express the overwhelming fear that grips individuals or nations in the face of divine judgment or military threat.
• Examples in Scripture:
• In Job 4:14, the term is used to describe the fear that seizes a person: "Fear and trembling came upon me and made all my bones shake."
• In Isaiah 2:10, it is associated with the fear of the Lord's majesty: "Go into the rocks, hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty."
• In Jeremiah 30:5, it describes the fear of impending disaster: "We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, not of peace."
• Theological Implications: The concept of פַחַד underscores the human response to the divine and the unknown. It highlights the power and majesty of God, as well as the vulnerability of humanity in the face of divine or existential threats. The fear of God, while initially alarming, is also seen as the beginning of wisdom and reverence.
