SIBI-P1 H3372-54
he feared in reverent awe
| Root | ירא (y-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | fear, awe, reverence, dread |
| Semantic Range | to fear, to be afraid, to stand in awe, to revere, to hold in respectful dread (of God, rulers, or circumstances) |
| Conceptual Significance | ירא is central to biblical theology, especially in the phrase "fear of YHWH," denoting covenantal reverence, obedient awe, and recognition of divine authority. It encompasses both emotional fear and faithful submission, shaping Israel’s understanding of wisdom, worship, and loyalty to God. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal verb; attested here primarily as perfect 3rd person masculine singular ("he feared"), and also as a masculine singular active participle ("one who fears"). The Qal stem denotes the basic action or state of fearing or revering. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, active experience of fear or awe. Rendering it as "he feared in reverent awe" preserves the third person masculine singular perfect form while reflecting the root’s range from dread to covenantal reverence before God. |
