Strong's Lexicon megurah: Fear, terror, dwelling place Original Word: מְגוּרָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: megurah Pronunciation: meh-goo-RAH Phonetic Spelling: (meg-oo-raw') Definition: Fear, terror, dwelling place Meaning: a fright, a granary Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גּוּר (gur), which means "to sojourn" or "to dwell as a foreigner." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "megurah," the concept of fear is often expressed in the New Testament with words like φόβος (phobos, Strong's Greek 5401), which also means fear or terror. Usage: The Hebrew word "megurah" primarily conveys the idea of fear or terror. It is used in the context of dread or anxiety, often associated with the fear of impending danger or divine judgment. In some contexts, it can also refer to a dwelling place, emphasizing the transient or insecure nature of such a habitation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fear was a common human experience, often linked to the uncertainty of life in a world perceived as filled with spiritual and physical threats. The Israelites understood fear both as a natural human emotion and as a response to the divine, particularly in the context of God's holiness and judgment. The concept of dwelling as a foreigner (gur) also reflects the nomadic history of the Israelites, who often lived as sojourners in foreign lands.
