Berean Strong's Lexicon chittith: Terror, Dread Original Word: חִתִּית Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: chittith Pronunciation: khit-teeth' Phonetic Spelling: (khit-teeth') Definition: Terror, Dread Meaning: fear Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for similar contexts is φόβος (phobos), Strong's Greek #5401, which also means fear or terror. Usage: The Hebrew word "chittith" is used to convey a sense of terror or dread. It often describes a profound fear that grips individuals or groups, typically in the context of divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances. This term emphasizes the emotional and psychological impact of fear, often associated with the presence or actions of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear and dread were common responses to theophanies (appearances of God) or divine interventions. The Israelites understood that the presence of God, while a source of protection and blessing, also carried a sense of awe and fear due to His holiness and power. The concept of "chittith" reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern understanding of the divine as both protector and judge, capable of instilling fear in the hearts of people.
