It is used in contexts where individuals or groups experience overwhelming fear, often in anticipation of divine judgment or in the face of formidable enemies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, fear and dread were common responses to the presence of God, especially when His holiness and power were revealed. The concept of "chathchath" reflects the human reaction to the divine, as well as the fear of enemies and impending doom. This term is often used in prophetic literature to describe the fear that will come upon nations or individuals as a result of God's judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2865.htm">chathath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>terror<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>terrors (1).<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">חַתְחַת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>terror</b></font>, only plural <font class="hebrew2">חַתְחַתִּים</font> <font class="hebrew2">בַּדֶּרֶךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12-5.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:5</a> <em>terrors</em> are <em>in the way</em> ("" <font class="hebrew2">ירא</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>fear <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2844.htm">chath</a>;
