Yare covers fear in many keys — fear of danger, awe of greatness, reverence before holiness. The Old Testament can use one word for both terror and reverence.

The “fear of the LORD” is not nervous dread but reverent love. It is awe of God’s holiness combined with trust in his goodness — and Proverbs calls it the foundation of wisdom.
