Of some ten Hebrew nouns and eight verbs that are regularly translated "fear, " "to fear, " "to be afraid, " and the like, only one of each is commonly used in the Old Testament and they both spring from the root yr the noun being yira [ h'a. The New Testament employs phobos and phobeo almost exclusively as noun and verb, respectively, and these are the terms consistently used by the Septuagint to translate Hebrew yira [ h'a.
The fundamental and original idea expressed by these terms covers a semantic range from mild easiness to stark terror, depending on the object of the fear and the circumstances surrounding the experience. There is no separate Hebrew of Greek lexeme describing fear of God so presumably such fear was from earliest times, the same kind of reaction as could be elicited from any encounter with a surprising, unusual, or threatening entity.
In time, however, fear of God or of manifestations of the divine became a subcategory of fear in general and thus developed a theological signification pervasively attested throughout the Bible. While the normal meaning of fear as dread or terror is retained in the theological use of the terms, a special nuance of reverential awe or worshipful respect becomes the dominant notion. Fear of God or of his manifestations appears in the Bible either in the abstract, in which just the idea of God alone generates this response, or in particular situations such as theophany or miracle, the occurrence or performance of which produces fear.
This is what I have experienced in the last week or so. I then found myself, unrealistically and unnecessarily, thinking about dying specifically my own death. I am young and healthy. There is no reason for me to be thinking about my mortality yet it was periodically popping into my head unbidden.
Drawing from the teachings of a Jewish Rabbi and the Hebrew language, Tara pointed out that there are two types of fear, Pachad and Yirah and they provide two different ways to think about fear. It is the over-reactive, irrational fear that stems from worries about what could happen, about the worse case scenario that we imagine. It is also the feeling we feel when we are on sacred ground. As I reflected on this, I realized I had been experiencing both types of fear this last week.
While it is still evolving and there is much of it that is unknown, I have a deep knowing that this work is my calling. It is the thing for which my life has been setting me up and as I have said yes to this call, I have stepped into the arena and I am occupying a space much larger and much more sacred than any I have occupied before.
My body was feeling the energy of this new space and responding accordingly. As such Pachad naturally showed up to try to keep me safely tucked inside that familiar place. Page 1 of 1. Tags: Fear.
