Strong's Lexicon realah: Trembling, quaking Original Word: רַעֲלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעַל (ra'al), which can imply trembling or quivering. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of trembling or fear is captured in Greek by words like φόβος (phobos, Strong's G5401) and τρόμος (tromos, Strong's G5156), which are used in the New Testament to describe fear or reverence. Usage: The term "realah" is used to describe a state of trembling or quaking, often in the context of fear or awe. It can refer to both physical trembling and a metaphorical state of fear or anxiety. In the biblical context, it often conveys the reaction of individuals or nations in the presence of divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, trembling was a common reaction to divine encounters or significant events. It was seen as a natural human response to the presence of the divine or to overwhelming fear. The Hebrew Bible often uses physical reactions like trembling to depict the seriousness of a situation or the power of God.
