Strong's Lexicon magar: To fear, to be afraid, to dread Original Word: מָגַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5399 (φοβέω, phobeo) - to fear, to be afraid - G1167 (δειλιάω, deiliao) - to be timid, to be afraid Usage: The Hebrew verb "magar" primarily conveys the sense of fear or dread. It is used in contexts where individuals experience fear due to impending danger, divine judgment, or overwhelming circumstances. The term can also imply a reverential fear or awe, particularly in relation to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear was a common human experience, often associated with the presence of enemies, natural disasters, or divine encounters. The concept of fear in the Hebrew Bible is multifaceted, encompassing both the fear of God, which is seen as a positive, reverential awe, and the fear of worldly threats, which can lead to distress and anxiety. The Israelites were often reminded to fear God above all else, as this fear was foundational to wisdom and obedience.
