Genesis 35:17

¹⁷ And it came to pass when it went hard with her in her childbearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.

Fear not

Fear not, as in Genesis 20:8, signifies aversion. To fear signifies to disbelieve or not to have faith and love, as in Isaiah 43:1, 5; 44:8; Mark 5:36; Luke 1:73, 75; 4:40; 8:49; 12:7, 32.

Fear not, as in Revelation 1:17; Daniel 10:5, 12; Matthew 17:5, 7; 28:10, etc., signifies resuscitation to life, and at the same time adoration from the most profound humiliation.

Fear has various meanings depending on what's causing it. Sometimes fear signifies love. Fear, as in Genesis 28:17, signifies a holy change.
