Strong's Lexicon behal: To be dismayed, to hasten, to terrify Original Word: בְּהל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4422 (ptoeō): To terrify, to frighten - G1611 (ekthambeō): To be amazed, to be alarmed Usage: The Hebrew verb "behal" primarily conveys a sense of being dismayed or alarmed. It can also imply a hurried or panicked response, often due to fear or terror. The term is used to describe both physical and emotional states of being overwhelmed or disturbed by sudden events or threats. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as fear and dismay were often expressed in vivid terms, reflecting the close relationship between one's emotional state and physical actions. The concept of being "behal" would resonate with the experiences of individuals facing sudden danger or divine encounters, where immediate and intense reactions were common. The ancient Israelites, living in a world where threats from nature, enemies, and even divine judgment were ever-present, would have understood this term in the context of their reliance on God for protection and deliverance.
