Strong's Lexicon baath: To terrify, to startle, to dismay Original Word: בָּעַת Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of fear and terror can be related to Greek words such as "φόβος" (phobos - Strong's G5401), which also conveys fear or terror. Usage: The Hebrew verb "baath" primarily conveys the sense of being terrified or startled. It is used to describe a sudden and intense fear or dismay that overtakes an individual. This term often appears in contexts where individuals are confronted with unexpected or overwhelming situations that cause them to be deeply afraid or dismayed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fear and dismay were common reactions to divine encounters, natural disasters, or enemy threats. The concept of fear in the Hebrew Bible often extends beyond mere emotion to encompass a reverential awe of God. The Israelites were frequently reminded of the power and majesty of God, which could evoke both fear and worship. Understanding fear in this context helps to appreciate the depth of human response to the divine and the unknown.
