Strong's Lexicon aruts: Fearful, dreadful, terrifying Original Word: עָרוּץ Word Origin: Derived from the root ערץ (arats), which means "to tremble" or "to dread." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of fear and awe can be related to Greek words like "φόβος" (phobos - G5401), which means fear or terror, and "δεινός" (deinos - G1171), meaning dreadful or terrible. Usage: The Hebrew word "aruts" is used to describe something that inspires fear or dread. It often conveys a sense of awe or reverence, sometimes in the context of God's power or the might of an enemy. The term can also imply a sense of being formidable or awe-inspiring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fear and reverence were closely linked, especially in relation to God. The concept of fear (yirah) was not only about being afraid but also about having a deep respect and awe for the divine. "Aruts" captures this duality, reflecting both the fearsome nature of God's power and the reverence due to Him. In a historical context, the term could also describe the fearsome reputation of warriors or nations.
