Phonetic Spelling: (baw-thaw')
Definition: To trust, to be confident, to feel secure

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 "bathah" conveys a sense of trust, confidence, and security. It is often used in the context of placing one's trust in God, highlighting a reliance on His strength, protection, and faithfulness. This term emphasizes a deep, abiding confidence that is not easily shaken by external circumstances.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, trust was a vital component of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were called to trust in Yahweh rather than in foreign powers, idols, or their own strength. This trust was not merely intellectual assent but involved a wholehearted reliance on God's character and promises. In a world where political alliances and military might were often seen as sources of security, the biblical call to trust in God alone was countercultural and required a profound faith.
