Transliteration: magor or magur
Pronunciation: maw-GORE or maw-GOOR
Phonetic Spelling: (maw-gore')
Definition: Fear, terror, dwelling place, sojourning
Meaning: a fright

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גּוּר (gur), which means "to sojourn" or "to dwell as a foreigner."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "magor" is φόβος (phobos), which also means fear or terror.

Usage: The Hebrew word "magor" or "magur" primarily conveys the idea of fear or terror, often in the context of impending danger or divine judgment. It can also refer to a dwelling place or the act of sojourning, highlighting the transient and sometimes precarious nature of life. The dual meanings reflect the experiences of the Israelites, who often lived as sojourners and faced various fears and uncertainties.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of sojourning was significant, as the Israelites themselves were sojourners in Egypt before settling in the Promised Land. The term "magor" captures the essence of living in a foreign land, often with a sense of vulnerability and dependence on God's protection. The fear aspect of "magor" is frequently associated with the fear of God or the fear of enemies, reflecting the Israelites' reliance on divine intervention for deliverance and safety.
