The Key Word — אַל, 'al-generated
The particle אַל (al) is a negative form meaning 'not' or 'no,' used here to express a strong prohibition against fear. It emphasizes a complete absence of fear in the face of danger, reinforcing the command not to succumb to anxiety.
This word appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts where a wish or command is being made. Its function here is to assert a decisive stance against fear, indicating that one should not let fear dictate their response to sudden threats.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
