עָרַץ

Deuteronomy 1:29 תַֽעַרְצ֥וּן you must be terrified !

So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!

Here: To be struck with dread, to shake before something overwhelming. With the negative: 'you must not be terrified.' The extra -ûn ending, common in Deuteronomy, gives the line a solemn, weighty ring.

Deuteronomy 7:21 תַעֲרֹ֖ץ you must be terrified

Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.

Here: To shake with dread in front of a stronger, overwhelming opponent. Addressed to 'you' (singular), Israel spoken to as one person, so each hearer and the nation as a whole are both in view.

Deuteronomy 20:3 תַּֽעַרְצ֖וּ you be terrified

saying to them, “Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle with your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be alarmed or terrified because of them.

Here: Being overawed or struck with dread before something that seems overwhelming. It is a stock Deuteronomic word for the terror that enemy power inspires (Deut 1:29; 7:21; 31:6).

Deuteronomy 31:6 תַּעַרְצ֖וּ you be terrified

Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Here: A stronger word than 'fear': shaking, panicking terror. It is the word of the priest's speech before battle (Deut 20:3) and of Deut 1:29 and 7:21, where Israel is told not to tremble before the Canaanites.

Joshua 1:9 תַּעֲרֹ֖ץ you be terrified

Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Here: 'Do not tremble in dread.' This is the shaking terror an overwhelming enemy causes. Moses used the same word to the generation that refused to enter the land (Deuteronomy 1:29).

Job 13:25 תַּעֲר֑וֹץ will you terrify

Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?

Job 31:34 אֶֽעֱר֨וֹץ׀ I feared

because I greatly feared the crowds and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside—

Psalm 10:18 לַעֲרֹ֥ץ to terrify

to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.

Here: 'To strike terror', 'to make people tremble'. It is the verb behind ʿārîṣ, 'tyrant, ruthless man'. The point is the fear the strong use to rule the weak, more than the physical oppression itself. In Hebrew it also sounds like the verse's last word, ʾāreṣ ('earth').

Psalm 89:7 נַ֭עֲרָץ [is] awesome

In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.

Here: A passive form ('one who is dreaded'): God is the one before whom others shake. The word is stronger than polite respect; it is the trembling dread a subject feels before an overwhelming power.

Isaiah 2:19 לַעֲרֹ֥ץ to terrify

Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

Here: 'To terrify'. The verb means to strike with terror or make to tremble. It is mainly about fear, though the context adds the picture of shaking ground. Its sound echoes the next word: la'arōṣ hā'āreṣ.

Isaiah 2:21 לַעֲרֹ֥ץ to terrify

They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

Isaiah 8:12 תַעֲרִֽיצוּ׃ you must regard with awe

“Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.

Here: A causative form: 'treat as terrifying, hold in dread'. No object is stated; the thing feared is implied. Verse 13 turns the same root into a title for God: he is your maʿărîṣ, 'the one you dread'.

Isaiah 8:13 מַֽעֲרִֽצְכֶֽם׃ [the] [one whom] regard with awe you

The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.

Here: A verb form used as a noun: 'your dreaded one,' 'the one who makes you tremble.' It picks up verse 12's 'do not dread' (taʿaritsu). The dread the people feel toward invading armies belongs to God alone.

Isaiah 29:23 יַעֲרִֽיצוּ׃ they will regard with awe

For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

Here: 'They will hold in trembling awe'. This is a strong word for the shaking dread that overwhelming power produces. It echoes the 'ruthless one' (ʿārîṣ, from the same root) who vanishes in v. 20: the tyrant is gone, and only God is left to tremble before.

Isaiah 47:12 תַּעֲרֽוֹצִי׃ you will inspire awe

So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!

Here: 'You will strike terror': perhaps your rites will frighten off the coming disaster, or overawe your attackers. The same verb describes God rising 'to terrify the earth' (Isa 2:19, 21), so Babylon is mocked for imagining it could inspire the kind of dread that belongs to God.
