SIBI-P1 H3374-08
and in the awe of
| Root | ירא (y-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | fear, awe, reverence, dread |
| Semantic Range | fear, dread, reverential awe, piety, godly fear, terror (context-dependent) |
| Conceptual Significance | יִרְאָה often expresses covenantal reverence toward YHWH—an attitude combining awe, obedience, and moral seriousness. It can denote both trembling dread before divine power and devoted reverence that shapes faithful living. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition בְּ + noun יִרְאָה (feminine singular construct). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive ("awe of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יִרְאָה derives from the root ירא, conveying fear or reverential awe. Here it appears as a feminine singular construct (יִרְאַת), indicating "awe of" something that follows, and is preceded by the conjunction וּ ("and") and the preposition בְּ ("in/by"), yielding "and in the awe of." This preserves both the root sense of reverent fear and the grammatical construct form. |
