Strong's Lexicon betach: Security, safety, confidence, trust Original Word: בֶּטַח Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּטַח (batach), which means "to trust" or "to be confident." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4006 (pepoithesis): Confidence, trust - G1515 (eirene): Peace, often used in the New Testament to describe the peace that comes from God Usage: The Hebrew word "betach" primarily conveys a sense of security and confidence, often in the context of trust in God or a state of being free from fear. It is used to describe both physical safety and spiritual assurance. In the Old Testament, "betach" is frequently associated with the peace and security that come from reliance on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "betach" was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. Trust in God was not merely an abstract idea but a practical reality that influenced daily life, military strategies, and societal structures. The Israelites were often reminded that their true security lay not in military might or alliances but in their faithfulness to God.
