Strong's Lexicon bitchah: Security, confidence, trust Original Word: בִּטְחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּטַח (batach), which means "to trust" or "to be confident." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for trust or confidence is πίστις (pistis), Strong's Greek #4102, which is commonly translated as "faith." Usage: The Hebrew word "בִּטְחָה" (bitchah) conveys a sense of security, confidence, or trust. It is often used in the context of having a firm reliance on God or a sense of safety and assurance in His protection and provision. This term underscores the importance of placing one's trust in the Lord rather than in human strength or material wealth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of trust and security was deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were often reminded of their dependence on God for protection against enemies, provision in times of need, and guidance through life's uncertainties. Trust in God was not only a personal virtue but also a communal expectation, as the nation was called to collectively rely on God's faithfulness.
