Strong's Lexicon yarat: To tremble, to be afraid, to be in awe Original Word: יָרַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "φόβος" (phobos), which also conveys fear, reverence, or awe. This term appears in contexts such as Philippians 2:12, where believers are encouraged to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Usage: The Hebrew verb "yarat" primarily conveys a sense of trembling or fear, often in the context of reverence or awe. It can describe both physical trembling and an emotional or spiritual response to a situation or presence, particularly in relation to the divine. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fear and trembling were common responses to the presence of God or divine manifestations. This reaction was not merely about terror but encompassed a profound respect and recognition of God's holiness and power. The concept of fear in the Hebrew Bible often includes elements of reverence and awe, acknowledging the majesty and authority of God.
