It is used to describe both literal and metaphorical trembling, reflecting a response to divine presence, judgment, or overwhelming circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical expressions of emotion, such as trembling, were often seen as manifestations of one's inner spiritual state. Trembling could indicate fear of impending danger or judgment, but it could also signify reverence and awe in the presence of God. The concept of trembling before God is deeply rooted in the Hebrew understanding of the divine as both powerful and holy, deserving of utmost respect and fear.
