Strong's Lexicon beathah: Terror, Dread Original Word: בְּעָתָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּאָה (ba'ah), meaning "to come" or "to enter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of fear or dread in the New Testament is φόβος (phobos), Strong's Greek #5401, which also conveys the idea of fear, reverence, or awe. Usage: The term "beathah" is used to convey a sense of overwhelming fear or dread, often in the context of divine judgment or impending disaster. It reflects a profound emotional response to a perceived threat or the presence of God's awe-inspiring power. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fear was deeply intertwined with the understanding of God's holiness and justice. The Israelites recognized that God's presence could evoke both reverence and fear, especially when His righteous standards were not met. The term "beathah" captures the intense emotional reaction to situations where God's judgment or the consequences of sin were imminent.
