and the awe-of

Rootירא (y-r-ʾ)
Core Meaningsfear, awe, reverence, dread, being in awe
Semantic Rangefear, terror, dread, reverence, piety, awe before God or authority
Conceptual Significanceיִרְאַת often expresses covenantal reverence toward YHWH—"the awe of YHWH"—which denotes loyal obedience and humble submission rather than mere terror. It frames true wisdom and faithful living as flowing from reverent awe before the Divine.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to a feminine singular noun in construct state (Ncfsc). Construct form indicates a genitive relationship: "fear/awe of …".
Rendering RationaleThe noun יִרְאָה derives from the root ירא, conveying fear in the sense of awe or reverent dread. The form is feminine singular construct with prefixed conjunction וְ, so "and the awe-of" preserves both the construct relationship ("of") and the conjunction while retaining the root idea of awe-filled fear.
