Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G143 (aistheterion): Relating to perception or discernment, often in a moral or spiritual sense. • G1168 (deilia): Referring to timidity or fearfulness. • G1611 (ekplesso): To be amazed or astounded, often with a sense of fear or wonder. • G2284 (thambos): Astonishment or amazement, sometimes with an element of fear. • G2352 (throeo): To be troubled or alarmed, often used in the context of fear. • G4531 (saleuo): To shake or agitate, metaphorically used for emotional disturbance. • G4692 (spoudazo): To hasten or be diligent, indicating urgency or earnestness. These Greek terms capture various aspects of the emotional and physical responses associated with חָפַז, such as fear, amazement, and urgency. Usage: The verb חָפַז (chafaz) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a sudden movement or reaction, often associated with fear or urgency. It conveys the idea of being startled or making a quick departure due to fear or alarm. Context: • The Hebrew verb חָפַז (chafaz) appears in contexts where individuals or groups experience a sudden emotional or physical reaction, often due to fear or the need for haste. This term is used to describe the instinctive response to an unexpected or threatening situation. • In the Berean Standard Bible, one can observe the use of חָפַז in passages that depict moments of urgency or fear. For example, in 1 Samuel 23:26, David and his men are described as being in a state of haste as they flee from Saul: "Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side, hurrying to get away from Saul." • The term is also used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey the emotional intensity of fear or the swiftness of divine judgment. In Isaiah 35:4, the prophet encourages the fearful: "Say to those with anxious hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.'" • The root חָפַז is thus associated with both physical movement and emotional states, emphasizing the immediacy and intensity of the reaction.
