Know that HaShem-יהו"ה gave this quality called, Terror-Pachad-פחד and Consuming Fire-Aish Ochlah-אש אוכלה, to the children of Israel, to go before them, conquer the land and wage their battles. This is as stated,168Deuteronomy 11:25 “No man will be capable of standing up against you; HaShem-יהו״ה your God, will instill your terror-Pachdechem-פחדכם and your fear-Mora’achem-מוראכם upon the surface of the entire land that you shall tread upon, as He has told you.” Why does the verse specify, “your terror-Pachdechem-פחדכם”? In order to heap praise upon the Jewish people. HaShem-יהו״ה said, “Though the quality of terror-Pachad-פחד is Mine, the children of Israel have taken it as an inheritance.” Yitzchak inherited the quality of terror-Pachad-פחד and it thus became his, as it states,169Genesis 31:53 “And Yaakov swore by the Dread-Pachad-פחד of his father Yitzchak,” and the children of Israel inherited all the possessions of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov. The quality of terror-Pachad-פחד was therefore given into their hands as their inheritance, until they sinned and lost it all.
