It conveys a deep emotional response, often associated with impending doom or divine judgment. The term is used to express the physical and emotional reaction to overwhelming fear or distress.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of fear and trembling were often linked to the presence of God or the anticipation of His judgment. The Israelites understood fear as a natural response to the divine, reflecting both reverence and the recognition of human frailty in the face of God's power. The term "chalchalah" captures this intense emotional state, which was not only personal but also communal, as entire nations or groups could experience such fear in response to prophetic warnings or military threats.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2342.htm">chul</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>anguish<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>anguish (4).<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">חַלְחָלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>anguish</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מָֽלְאוּ מָתְנַי ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/21-3.htm">Isaiah 21:3</a>, <font class="hebrew2">בכל מתנים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/nahum/2-11.htm">Nahum 2:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30-4.htm">Ezekiel 30:4</a>,9 ("" <font class="hebrew2">החריד</font>). <p> <font class="hebrew2">חַלְחָלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> see I. <font class="hebrew2">חול</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>great, much pain <p>Feminine from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2478.htm">Chalchuwl</a>; writhing (in childbirth); by implication, terror -- (great, much) pain. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2478.htm">Chalchuwl</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְחַלְחָלָה֙ וחלחלה חַלְחָלָ֔ה חַלְחָלָ֤ה חַלְחָלָה֙ חלחלה chalchaLah ḥal·ḥā·lāh ḥalḥālāh vechalchaLah wə·ḥal·ḥā·lāh wəḥalḥālāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/21-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 21:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/21.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מָלְא֤וּ מָתְנַי֙ <b> חַלְחָלָ֔ה </b> צִירִ֣ים אֲחָז֔וּנִי</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/21.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> are full <span class="itali">of anguish;</span> Pains<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/21.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> filled <span class="itali">with pain:</span> pangs<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/21-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> are full my loins <span class="itali">of anguish</span> Pains have seized<p><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/30-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 30:4</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְהָיְתָ֤ה <b> חַלְחָלָה֙ </b> בְּכ֔וּשׁ בִּנְפֹ֥ל</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezekiel/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> upon Egypt, <span class="itali">And anguish</span> will be in Ethiopia;<br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> upon Egypt, <span class="itali">and great pain</span> shall be in Ethiopia,<br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30-4.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Egypt become <span class="itali">and anguish</span> Ethiopia fall<p><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/30-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 30:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בֶּ֑טַח וְהָיְתָ֨ה <b> חַלְחָלָ֤ה </b> בָהֶם֙ בְּי֣וֹם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezekiel/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Ethiopia; <span class="itali">and anguish</span> will be on them as on the day<br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> afraid, <span class="itali">and great pain</span> shall come upon them, as in the day<br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/30-9.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> secure become <span class="itali">and anguish</span> the day of Egypt<p><b><a href="/text/nahum/2-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Nahum 2:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/nahum/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּפִ֣ק בִּרְכַּ֗יִם <b> וְחַלְחָלָה֙ </b> בְּכָל־ מָתְנַ֔יִם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/nahum/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> knocking!
