Strong's Lexicon emunah: Faithfulness, fidelity, steadfastness, trust, faith Original Word: אֱמוּנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַן (aman), which means to confirm, support, or be faithful. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4102 (πίστις, pistis): Often translated as "faith" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of trust and faithfulness. - G4103 (πιστός, pistos): Meaning "faithful" or "trustworthy," used to describe both God and believers. Usage: The Hebrew word "emunah" primarily conveys the idea of faithfulness and reliability. It is often used to describe the steadfastness and trustworthiness of God, as well as the faith and trust that humans are to have in God. In the context of human behavior, it can also refer to integrity and honesty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, "emunah" was a foundational concept that underscored the covenant relationship between God and His people. It was not merely an intellectual assent but involved a deep, relational trust and commitment. This concept was crucial in a society where oral agreements and covenants were binding, and faithfulness was a highly valued trait.
