יִרְאָה f.
(1) prop. inf. of the verb יָרֵא to fear, to reverence. Nehemiah 1:11, לְיִרְאָה אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ “to fear thy name.” 2 Samuel 3:11, מִיִּרְאָתוֹ אֹתוֹ “because he feared him;” Deuteronomy 4:10, 5:26 6:24 10:12 14:23.
(2) subst. fear, terror. Jonah 1:10 וַיִּירְאוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים יִרְאָה גְדוֹלָה “and the men were seized with great fear.” Followed by a genitive of the subject, i.e. of him who fears, Psalms 55:6; Job 4:6 and of the object, i.e. of that which is feared, (compare as the double sense of the phrase metus hostium, Gell. N. Att. ix. 10). Hence יִרְאָֽתְךָ thy fear. Deuteronomy 2:25; Isaiah 7:25, יִרְאַת שָׁמִיר וָשַׁיִת “fear of thorns and briers.” Compare Ezekiel 1:18, יִרְאָה לָהֶם “terror (was) in them;” i.e they caused terror.
(3) reverence, holy fear, Psalms 2:11, 5:8. יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה reverence towards God, piety. Proverbs 1:7, יְהֹוָה רְאשִׁית דַּעַת יִרְאַת, Job 28:28; Isaiah 11:2; Psalms 34:12, 111:10 meton. the precepts of religion or piety [rather the revealed will of God], Psalms 19:10 without יְהֹוָה Job 4:6, 15:4.
