SIBI-P1 `H3374-01`

in the fear of

Root	ירא (y-r-ʾ)
Core Meanings	fear, awe, reverence, dread
Semantic Range	fear, terror, dread; reverential awe; piety; covenantal reverence toward God; an attitude of obedient submission
Conceptual Significance	In biblical theology, יִרְאָה often signifies covenantal reverence toward YHWH—an awe-filled recognition of His holiness and authority that results in obedience and wisdom. "The fear of YHWH" becomes a foundational expression for faithful living and relational loyalty to God.
Morphological Notes	Noun, feminine singular construct (Ncfsc) from יִרְאָה with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive (e.g., "the fear of YHWH").
Rendering Rationale	The noun יִרְאָה (feminine singular) means "fear" or "awe," deriving from the root ירא (y-r-ʾ), "to fear, revere." The form here is feminine singular construct (יִרְאַת) with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), so "in the fear of" accurately reflects both the grammatical form and the relational sense of the construct state.
