"What It Means to Fear Yahuah — And How It Leads to Wisdom"
๐ฏ SCRIPTURAL DAY
13th day of the 8th month (Cheshvan), year 6027 — sunset to sunset.
๐ MAIN READING — MISHLEI (Proverbs) 9:10
"The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding."
The "fear" spoken of here is not mere fright as the nations know it; it is *yir'ah* (ืִืจְืָื) — a deep, trembling reverence that brings the soul into submission before the Creator's perfect order. It is the realization that He alone holds power over life, death, blessing, and curse (Devariym 30:19). To fear Yahuah is to love what He loves and to hate what He hates (Mishlei 8:13). It is to keep His commandments because we know He is righteous and true (Devariym 10:12-13).

**Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) 12:13-14**
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Elohiym, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For Elohiym shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
**Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 33:6**

**Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 1:14, 16-18**
"The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb… To fear Yahuah is fullness of wisdom, and fills men with her fruits. She fills all their house with things desirable, and the garner with her increase. The fear of Yahuah is a crown of wisdom."
**Luqas (Luke) 1:50**
"And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation."

"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is Elohiym which works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure."
๐ REFLECTION
To fear Yahuah is to stand in awe before His holiness and respond with obedience.
When the fear of Yahuah dwells in the heart, rebellion flees. Wisdom begins when pride ends. It is the foundation upon which every righteous act is built.
Those who fear Yahuah do not twist His Word, nor walk after the ways of the nations. They speak truth even when the world mocks them. They remember that "the eyes of Yahuah are upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy" (Tehilliym 33:18).
To gain wisdom, therefore, is not to collect knowledge, but to submit to the One from whom all knowledge flows. The wise man is he who trembles at His Word (Yesha'yahu 66:2) and delights to do His will.
๐๐พ CLOSING PRAYER
Yahuah Elohiym, teach us to fear You rightly.
Plant in us the reverence that keeps our hearts pure and our steps sure.
Let the Ruach Ha'Qodesh write Your Torah upon our hearts, that we may walk in wisdom and not in folly.
Deliver us from the fear of men, and establish within us the fear of Yahuah — the fear that leads to life everlasting through Yahusha Ha'Mashiach.
Amein. Selah.
May this teaching deepen your reverence for Yahuah and strengthen your walk in His wisdom.
Shalom and blessings from The FUNDamental Qahal of the Most High
