fearful one (masc. sg.)

Rootירא (y-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningsfear, awe, reverence, dread
Semantic Rangefearful, afraid, reverent, God-fearing, awe-filled; can denote terror before danger or reverent awe before YHWH.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, יָרֵא often describes one who stands in proper awe of YHWH, embodying covenant loyalty and wisdom. The "fear" expressed is not merely terror but a posture of reverent obedience and recognition of divine authority.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsc), from the root ירא; functions substantivally to describe a person characterized by fear or reverence.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective יָרֵא derives from the root ירא, expressing fear or reverent awe. Rendered as "fearful one (masc. sg.)", it preserves the adjectival force and reflects the masculine singular absolute form indicated in the morphology.
