Strong's Lexicon ra'ad: To tremble, quake, shudder Original Word: רַעַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word "τρέμω" (tremō, Strong's G5141) carries a similar meaning of trembling or quaking, often used in the New Testament to describe fear or reverence. Usage: The Hebrew verb "ra'ad" primarily conveys the idea of trembling or quaking, often in response to fear, awe, or divine presence. It can describe both physical trembling and a more metaphorical sense of fear or reverence. The term is used to depict the reaction of individuals or nature itself when confronted with the power and majesty of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical expressions of emotion, such as trembling, were often seen as outward manifestations of inner experiences. Trembling could indicate fear, reverence, or the overwhelming presence of the divine. The Hebrew Bible frequently uses physical reactions to describe encounters with God or His messengers, emphasizing the profound impact of such experiences on human beings.
