Usage:The Hebrew word "pachad" primarily denotes a sense of fear or dread. It is often used to describe a profound, sometimes paralyzing fear that can be both a natural human response to danger and a reverential awe towards God. In the Old Testament, "pachad" can refer to the fear of impending danger or judgment, as well as the fear of God, which is considered the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite culture, fear was a significant aspect of life, both in terms of survival and religious practice. The fear of God was central to the covenant relationship between God and His people, emphasizing obedience, reverence, and worship. Fear of enemies and natural disasters also played a role in the Israelites' reliance on God's protection and deliverance.
