The word which we translate [fear] comes from a root signifying that which is very formidable and terrible. Fear and dread shall fall upon them (Exod. 15.16.) that is, they shall be extremely afraid, even dead with fear, as the next words import, They shall be still as a stone, &c. There is a letter added (as the Hebricians observe) to the word used by Moses, 1implying the excess of fear. Giants are called by this name Emims (Deut. 2.11.) because they are of a dreadful aspect. The whole host of Israel trembled at the sight of Goliath (1 Sam. 17.24.) […] Idols […] expressed by this name Emim. And there is a double reason of it. Either because Idols are a terror to their worshippers: we hear how at this day poor Pagans, who worship Idols, are extremely oppressed with slavish fear of displeasing them. The true God is terrible to his despisers; but false Gods are terrible to their worshippers.
