Strong's Lexicon omnah: Faithfulness, truth, certainty Original Word: אֹמְנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַן (aman), which means to confirm, support, or be faithful. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is πιστός (pistos), which also means faithful or trustworthy. This can be seen in passages like 1 Corinthians 1:9 (BSB): "God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." Usage: The Hebrew word "omnah" conveys the idea of faithfulness, truth, or certainty. It is used to describe something that is reliable, trustworthy, or steadfast. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to the faithfulness of God or the reliability of His promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, faithfulness was a highly valued trait, both in personal relationships and in one's relationship with God. The concept of faithfulness is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where God is seen as the ultimate example of faithfulness. The Hebrew understanding of truth and faithfulness is not just about factual accuracy but encompasses loyalty, reliability, and steadfastness.
