Strong's Lexicon yare: Fearful, reverent, afraid Original Word: יָרֵא Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָרֵא (yare), which means "to fear" or "to revere." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5399 (φοβέω, phobeo): To fear, be afraid, reverence - G5401 (φόβος, phobos): Fear, terror, reverence Usage: The Hebrew word "yare" primarily conveys a sense of fear or reverence. It is often used in the context of fearing God, which encompasses both a sense of awe and respect for His majesty and power, as well as a recognition of His authority and holiness. In some contexts, it can also mean being afraid or fearful in a more general sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "fear" was deeply intertwined with religious devotion and ethical living. The fear of the LORD was considered the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and was a foundational aspect of the covenant relationship between God and His people. This fear was not merely about being afraid of divine punishment but was about living in a way that honors and respects God's commandments and character.
