Berean Strong's Lexicon mora: Fear, terror, reverence Original Word: מוֹרָא Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֵא (yare), meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5401 (φόβος, phobos) - fear, reverence, respect - G1167 (δειλία, deilia) - timidity, fearfulness Usage: The Hebrew word "mora" primarily denotes a sense of fear or terror, often in the context of reverence or awe towards God. It can also refer to the fear or dread that one might feel in the presence of something powerful or overwhelming. In the biblical context, "mora" is frequently used to describe the appropriate response of humans to the divine majesty and holiness of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear of the Lord was considered a foundational aspect of wisdom and piety. This fear was not merely about being afraid but encompassed a deep respect and reverence for God's authority and power. The concept of "mora" reflects the understanding that God is both transcendent and immanent, deserving of awe and worship. This reverence was integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people, guiding their conduct and worship practices.
