Strong's Lexicon pallatsuth: Horror, Dread, Terror Original Word: פַלָּצוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַץ (palats), which means to tremble or shudder. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of fear or dread can be related to Greek terms such as φόβος (phobos, Strong's G5401), which also denotes fear or terror. Usage: The term "pallatsuth" is used to convey a sense of intense fear or dread, often associated with the reaction to something awe-inspiring or terrifying. It reflects a profound emotional response that can be both physical and psychological, indicating a state of being overwhelmed by fear or reverence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of fear or dread was often linked to the divine or supernatural. The Israelites understood that encountering the holiness and power of God could evoke a sense of "pallatsuth," as His presence was both awe-inspiring and fearsome. This term captures the dual nature of fear in the biblical context—both as a response to danger and as a reverent acknowledgment of God's majesty.
