Strong's Lexicon charadah: Fear, trembling, anxiety, quaking Original Word: חֲרָדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַד (charad), which means to tremble or be afraid. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5401 (φόβος, phobos): Often translated as fear, it carries a similar connotation of reverence and awe, particularly in the context of fearing God. - G5156 (τρομος, tromos): Meaning trembling, it is used in the New Testament to describe a physical manifestation of fear or reverence. Usage: The Hebrew word "charadah" primarily denotes a state of fear or trembling, often in response to a perceived threat or divine presence. It can describe both physical trembling and an emotional state of anxiety or dread. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with a reverential fear of God or a reaction to His mighty acts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear and trembling were common responses to the divine, reflecting a deep reverence for God's holiness and power.

This fear was not merely terror but included awe and respect for God's majesty and authority.
