Berean Strong's Lexicon pachad: Fear, dread, terror Original Word: פַּחַד Word Origin: From the root verb פָּחַד (pachad), meaning "to fear" or "to dread." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5401 (φόβος, phobos): Often translated as "fear" or "terror," used in the New Testament to describe both the fear of God and the fear of man. - G1167 (δειλία, deilia): Meaning "timidity" or "cowardice," used in contrast to the spirit of power given by God. Usage: The Hebrew word "pachad" primarily denotes a sense of fear or dread. It is often used to describe a profound, overwhelming fear that can be both a reverential awe of God or a paralyzing terror of impending danger or judgment. In the Old Testament, "pachad" is frequently associated with the fear of God, which is considered the beginning of wisdom and a fundamental aspect of a faithful life. It can also refer to the fear of enemies or divine retribution. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear was a multifaceted concept. The fear of God (pachad) was not merely an emotional response but a deep-seated respect and acknowledgment of God's power, holiness, and justice. This fear was integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people, serving as a deterrent against sin and a motivator for obedience. Conversely, the fear of enemies or natural disasters was a common human experience, reflecting the uncertainties and dangers of life in the ancient Near East.
