ἔκφοβ-ος G1630
terrified, frightened, filled with fear
This adjective means terrified or greatly frightened. Mark 9:6 uses it to describe Peter's fear at the Transfiguration, and Hebrews 12:21 applies it to Moses' terrified reaction at Sinai. The word emphasizes being thrown into a state of fear, often by divine manifestations. The prefix 'ek-' intensifies the basic idea of fear, suggesting being beside oneself with fright.
