    DefinitionShort: to have such awe or respect for a person as to involve a measure of fear
    Glosses: ['to fear', 'to show great reverence for', 'to show great respect for']
    Comments: In a number of languages there are serious problems involved in speaking of ‘fearing God,’ for this might imply merely ‘to be scared of God’ as though God were some kind of bogeyman. If there is a term with the meaning of ‘awe’ (perhaps in a phrase such as ‘to stand in awe of’), this may be an adequate equivalent. In some instances awe is expressed idiomatically as ‘to stand with one’s heart in one’s throat’ or ‘to be in someone’s presence with one’s heart beating fast.’

    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:φοβέω}[a] ‘to fear,’ {D:25.252}) to have profound reverence and respect for deity, with the implication of awe bordering on fear
    Glosses: ['to reverence', 'to worship']
    Comments: In {S:04401301600026} the phrase οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, literally ‘those who fear God,’ is essentially a technical phrase to identify non-Jews who worshiped the God of the Jews. These would have been Gentiles who were ‘God fearers’ or ‘worshipers of God.’
