Footnotes
*Pachad* (פַּחַד) is more than ordinary fear — it is the terror that overwhelms at the encounter with raw, sovereign power, frequently used of the fear of YHWH Himself (cf. Gen. 31:42, where YHWH is called 'the Fear of Yitzchak'). The phrase 'all my bones shook' (*rov atzmotai hifchid*) is insistently physical: this is not an intellectual impression but a full-body seizure of terror. The pattern of prostrating, bone-shaking awe echoes the classic theophanic responses of Daniel (10:7–9) and John (Rev. 1:17), suggesting Eliphaz is presenting his vision in the most exalted terms available to him.
