Yirah (???????) is a Hebrew word often translated as “fear” in English, but its deeper meaning encompasses awe, reverence, and worship. It describes a profound sense of wonder and holy respect in the presence of God’s majesty, rather than mere terror or dread.
Awe and Reverence: Yirah involves being overwhelmed by God’s holiness, power, and glory–similar to standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon or witnessing a majestic natural wonder.
Does that sound like “fear” to you..no _pachad_ is fear and it has a completely different frequency and meaning.
