SIBI-P1 H6206-04
you will be in dread
| Root | ערץ (ʿ-r-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | awe, dread, terror, trembling, intimidation |
| Semantic Range | to dread, to be terrified, to tremble, to stand in fearful awe, to be shaken, to be intimidated |
| Conceptual Significance | ערץ expresses a visceral experience of fear or overwhelming awe, often in response to divine power, judgment, or formidable enemies. It conveys not mere anxiety but a destabilizing dread that acknowledges superior force or authority. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd masculine singular; some occurrences may function as a jussive ("may you be in dread") depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem of ערץ carries the intransitive sense "to be in dread" or "to tremble in awe/terror." The form is second masculine singular imperfect, reflected by "you will," preserving both the verbal aspect and the singular masculine address inherent in the Hebrew form. |
