Rootפחד (p-ḥ-d)
Core Meaningssudden dread, terror, trembling fear, alarm
Semantic Rangeto dread, to fear, to be terrified, to stand in awe, to experience sudden alarm or trembling
Conceptual Significanceפחד often denotes an overwhelming sense of terror in the face of danger, divine judgment, or the unknown. In biblical theology, it can describe both paralyzing fear and a reverential awe before YHWH’s power, highlighting the human response to perceived threat or majesty.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol), 1st person common singular of פחד; expresses future or modal action from the speaker’s perspective.
Rendering RationaleThe root פחד conveys the idea of sudden dread or trembling fear. Rendering it as "I will be in dread" preserves the experiential, stative sense of the Qal stem while clearly reflecting the first person common singular imperfect form ("I will").
