Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of trembling is "τρέμω" (tremo), which appears in passages like Philippians 2:12, "continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

Usage: The Hebrew verb "zua" primarily conveys the idea of physical or emotional trembling or shaking. It is often used to describe a state of agitation or disturbance, whether due to fear, awe, or divine intervention. The term can also imply a broader sense of being moved or stirred, either physically or metaphorically.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical expressions of emotion, such as trembling, were often seen as manifestations of deeper spiritual or emotional states. The concept of trembling before God is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the awe and reverence due to the divine. This trembling can be a response to God's power, presence, or judgment, and it underscores the human recognition of divine authority and majesty.
