Fear That Leads to Worship
Commentators explain that the woman's 'fearing and trembling' was not simple fright. It was a complex emotion born from awe, the fear of reprisal for breaking purity laws by being in a crowd, and the realization of who she had just encountered. This reverential fear did not drive her away but compelled her to fall down in worship and confess everything, showing a proper response to divine power.
