Strong's Lexicon omnah: Faithfulness, trustworthiness Original Word: אָמְנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַן (aman), which means to confirm, support, or be faithful. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of faithfulness is πιστός (pistos), Strong's Greek #4103, which also means faithful or trustworthy. Usage: The Hebrew word "omnah" conveys the idea of faithfulness or trustworthiness. It is used to describe a quality of being reliable and steadfast, often in the context of relationships or commitments. This term emphasizes the importance of being true to one's word and maintaining integrity. 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.
