to dread in awe
| Root | ערץ (ʿ-r-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | awe, dread, terror, trembling, intimidation |
| Semantic Range | to dread, to be terrified, to inspire terror, to intimidate, to tremble before, to harass through fear |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys overwhelming fear that arises from encountering superior power—whether divine judgment, military threat, or majestic authority. It often marks the human response to YHWH’s might or to formidable enemies, emphasizing the trembling awe provoked by irresistible strength. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct with prefixed preposition ל ("to"). No gender, number, or person is expressed in this verbal form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root without added causative force, and the infinitive construct with prefixed ל carries the sense "to…". "To dread in awe" preserves the root idea of trembling fear and overwhelming awe, reflecting both the emotional and intimidating force inherent in ערץ. |
