It is used in the context of describing a state of alarm that grips individuals or groups, often as a result of impending danger or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "behalah" would have been understood in the context of both personal and communal experiences of fear. This could be due to natural disasters, enemy invasions, or divine interventions. The Israelites, living in a world where survival often depended on understanding and responding to threats, would have been acutely aware of the emotions encapsulated by "behalah."<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/926.htm">bahal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>dismay, sudden terror or ruin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>calamity (1), dismay (1), sudden terror (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">ֶבּהָלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>dismay, sudden terror or ruin</b></font> (compare Assyrian <i><em>bêltu</em></i>, <em>terror</em>, Dl<sup>Pr 32</sup>) — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בּ</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/26-16.htm">Leviticus 26:16</a> 2t.;
