Strong's Lexicon entromos: Trembling, terrified, afraid Original Word: ἔντρομος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "τρέμω" (tremō, meaning "to tremble"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar expressions of fear and trembling is יָרֵא (yare', Strong's H3372), which means to fear, revere, or be afraid. Usage: The Greek adjective "entromos" is used to describe a state of trembling or being filled with fear. It conveys a sense of being deeply shaken or terrified, often in response to a divine or supernatural encounter. In the New Testament, it is used to depict the reaction of individuals who experience a profound sense of awe or fear in the presence of God's power or revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of fear and trembling was often associated with encounters with the divine or the supernatural. Such reactions were considered appropriate responses to the overwhelming power and majesty of the gods. In the Jewish tradition, fear and trembling before God were seen as expressions of reverence and awe, acknowledging His holiness and authority.
