Usage: The Hebrew word "charadah" primarily denotes a state of fear or trembling, often in response to a perceived threat or divine presence. It can describe both physical trembling and an emotional state of anxiety or dread. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with a reverential fear of God or a reaction to His mighty acts.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear and trembling were common responses to the divine, reflecting a deep reverence for God's holiness and power. The concept of "charadah" is rooted in the understanding that encountering the divine or facing significant challenges often elicited a profound emotional and physical response. This fear was not merely terror but included awe and respect for God's majesty and authority.
