The Fear of the Lord

Being afraid and biblically fearing are certainly not the same. In other words, they feared the Lord, but not the way that he wants to be feared. You could be afraid of bail and Asher and Mullah and a lot of other gods in ancient world,. And you could be fear of Yahweh too, right? But being terrified by God is a pretty tiny aspect actually of what it means to fear the Lord.
