Kejadian 35:5

35:5 and they started on their journey. ¹  The surrounding cities were afraid of God, ²  and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

Ulangan 2:25

2:25 This very day I will begin to fill all the people of the earth ³  with dread and to terrify them when they hear about you. They will shiver and shake in anticipation of your approach.” ⁴ 

[35:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and they journeyed.”

[35:5]  ² tn Heb “and the fear of God was upon the cities which were round about them.” The expression “fear of God” apparently refers (1) to a fear of God (objective genitive; God is the object of their fear). (2) But it could mean “fear from God,” that is, fear which God placed in them (cf. NRSV “a terror from God”). Another option (3) is that the divine name is used as a superlative here, referring to “tremendous fear” (cf. NEB “were panic-stricken”; NASB “a great terror”).

[2:25]  ³ tn Heb “under heaven” (so NIV, NRSV).

[2:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “from before you.”
