SIBI-P1 H2730-01

a trembling one

Rootחרד (ḥ-r-d)
Core Meaningstrembling, quaking, shaking with fear, anxious agitation
Semantic Rangephysically trembling, fearful, anxious, deeply stirred, reverently trembling before God
Conceptual Significanceחָרֵד often conveys not only fear but a profound, bodily response to divine presence or judgment, expressing awe-filled reverence or urgent concern in the face of YHWH’s word or mighty acts.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa); from the root חרד; functions attributively or substantively to describe a trembling or fearful male individual.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective חָרֵד is masculine singular absolute, so the rendering "a trembling one" preserves both the grammatical masculine singular form and the root sense of physical or emotional trembling. This maintains the vivid imagery of quaking inherent in the root חרד rather than reducing it to a generic idea of fear.
