Strong's Lexicon tiphletseth: Horror, terror, trembling Original Word: תִּפְלֶצֶת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tiphletseth Pronunciation: tif-leh'-tseth Phonetic Spelling: (tif-leh'-tseth) Definition: Horror, terror, trembling Meaning: fearfulness Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלַץ (palatz), meaning "to tremble" or "to shudder." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of fear and trembling is captured in Greek by words such as φόβος (phobos, Strong's G5401) and τρόμος (tromos, Strong's G5156), which are used in the New Testament to describe reactions to divine encounters or the presence of God. Usage: The term "tiphletseth" is used to convey a sense of overwhelming fear or terror, often in the context of divine judgment or the presence of God. It reflects a profound emotional response to a situation that is perceived as threatening or awe-inspiring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of fear was multifaceted, encompassing both the fear of God, which was seen as a reverential awe, and the fear of impending danger or judgment. The use of "tiphletseth" in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the seriousness of God's power and the human response to His mighty acts. In a society where divine intervention was a common explanation for natural and political events, such terms would resonate deeply with the audience, reminding them of the need for obedience and reverence.
