Berean Strong's Lexicon bata or batah: Trust, rely, be confident, feel secure Original Word: בָּטַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3982 (peitho): To persuade, to have confidence - G4100 (pisteuo): To believe, to have faith Usage: The Hebrew verb "batah" primarily conveys the idea of trust or confidence. It is often used in the context of placing one's trust in God, highlighting a sense of security and reliance on His faithfulness and strength. The term can also imply a sense of boldness or assurance that comes from trusting in a reliable source. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, trust was a fundamental aspect of the covenant relationship between God and His people. Trusting in God was not merely an abstract concept but a practical reliance on His promises and character. This trust was often contrasted with reliance on human strength, wealth, or foreign alliances, which were seen as inadequate and ultimately unreliable. The cultural context emphasized the importance of faithfulness and loyalty, both in human relationships and in one's relationship with God.
