SIBI-P1 H6342-01
I will be in dread
| Root | פחד (p-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | sudden dread, terror, trembling fear, alarm |
| Semantic Range | to dread, to fear, to be terrified, to stand in awe, to experience sudden alarm or trembling |
| Conceptual Significance | פחד 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 Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 1st person common singular of פחד; expresses future or modal action from the speaker’s perspective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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"). |
