Berean Strong's Lexicon tromos: Trembling, quaking, fear Original Word: τρόμος Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: tromos Pronunciation: TRO-mos Phonetic Spelling: (trom'-os) Definition: Trembling, quaking, fear Meaning: a trembling, quaking, fear. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τρέμω (tremō), meaning "to tremble" or "to quake." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "tromos" is רַעַד (ra'ad), which also conveys the idea of trembling or quaking, particularly in the presence of God or in response to His actions (e.g., Exodus 19:16). Usage: The Greek word "tromos" refers to a state of trembling or quaking, often associated with fear or reverence. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical trembling and a metaphorical trembling that reflects a deep sense of awe or respect, particularly in the presence of God or in response to His mighty works. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, "tromos" was commonly used to describe the physical reaction of trembling due to fear or awe. This concept was not foreign to the Jewish understanding, as the Hebrew Scriptures often depict individuals trembling before God or in the face of divine revelation. The use of "tromos" in the New Testament reflects this cultural context, emphasizing the appropriate response of humility and reverence before the Almighty.
