| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רַעַשׁ denotes the result or state of shaking or tumult from the root רעש. With the definite article and masculine singular absolute form, it is best rendered generically as "the quaking," preserving its root-based sense without restricting it to a specific type such as an earthquake. |
