Strong's Lexicon Tireya: Fear, awe, reverence Original Word: תִּירְיָא Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of fear or reverence towards God is φόβος (phobos), Strong's Greek 5401, which also conveys a sense of awe and respect. Usage: The term "Tireya" is used to denote a profound sense of fear or reverence, often in the context of a deep respect or awe towards God. It encapsulates both the fear of God's power and the reverence due to His holiness and majesty. This fear is not merely terror but a recognition of God's authority and a submission to His will. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear of the Lord was a foundational aspect of religious life. It was understood as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and was integral to maintaining a covenant relationship with God. This fear was not only about being afraid of divine punishment but also about living in a way that honors God, acknowledging His sovereignty and righteousness.
