Original Word:אֵימָה
Part of Speech:Noun Feminine
Transliteration:eymah
Pronunciation:ay-maw'
Phonetic Spelling:(ay-maw')
Definition:Terror, dread, fear
Meaning:fright, an idol

Word Origin:Derived from the root אָמַם (amam), which conveys the idea of terror or dread.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G5401 (φόβος, phobos): Often translated as fear or terror, used in the New Testament to describe both reverential awe and fear of judgment.

-G1167 (δειλία, deilia): Meaning timidity or cowardice, contrasting with the boldness that comes from faith.

Usage:The Hebrew word 'emah primarily denotes a profound sense of terror or dread. It is often used in the context of a fear that is overwhelming and paralyzing, typically in response to the presence or actions of God, or in anticipation of divine judgment. This term can also describe the fear instilled in enemies by God's mighty acts on behalf of His people.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite culture, fear of the Lord was a central theme, reflecting both reverence and awe for God's power and holiness. The concept of 'emah is deeply rooted in the understanding of God's sovereignty and the recognition of His ability to protect or judge. This fear was not merely an emotional response but a recognition of God's authority and a call to live in obedience to His commandments.
