fear
me.gu.rah denotes fear brought upon people in Isaiah; its Haggai occurrence stands in a question about seed and a storehouse.
The clearest attested use is fear brought upon those who did not answer or listen in Isaiah 66:4; Haggai 2:19 uses the singular noun in a question about seed remaining in a storehouse, where the translation does not securely isolate its contribution.
Senses in use
-
Fear brought upon the unresponsive · common
In Isaiah 66:4, the plural construct form occurs in the statement that the speaker will bring it upon people who did not answer or hear and chose what was bad. The APB renders the clause, "I will bring their fear upon them."
-
Noun in a seed-storehouse question · common
In Haggai 2:19, the singular absolute form stands in the verse's question about whether seed is still in the storehouse, followed by mention of fruit-bearing trees. The APB renders the question, "Is the seed still in the storehouse?" but, as a whole-verse translation, does not securely identify the noun's specific English counterpart.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB plainly presents "their fear" in Isaiah 66:4. In Haggai 2:19 it presents a seed-storehouse question and cannot securely assign "storehouse" to this noun.
