Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of choosing the right path or making a righteous decision can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament, such as: • Strong's Greek 4102: πίστις (pistis) • faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness. • Strong's Greek 1343: δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosyne) • righteousness, justice; the quality of being right or just. • Strong's Greek 3598: ὁδός (hodos) • a way, road, journey; metaphorically, a course of conduct or way of thinking. These Greek terms reflect the New Testament's emphasis on faith, righteousness, and the moral journey of believers, paralleling the Hebrew concept of choosing the right path. Usage: This verb is used in the context of making a choice or decision, often implying a moral or ethical decision to follow the correct or righteous path. Context: • The Hebrew verb אָמַן (aman) is a primitive root that conveys the idea of taking the right hand road, symbolizing a choice to follow the correct or righteous path. This term is often associated with making decisions that align with divine guidance or moral integrity. In the Hebrew Bible, the concept of choosing the right path is frequently linked to wisdom and understanding, as seen in the wisdom literature and prophetic writings. • The verb is used metaphorically to describe the act of making a deliberate and conscious choice to follow God's commandments and teachings. It emphasizes the importance of discernment and the willingness to adhere to a path that leads to righteousness and truth. • While the specific usage of אָמַן in the sense of "to take the right hand road" is not directly quoted in the Berean Standard Bible, the underlying principle is reflected in various passages that encourage believers to choose the path of righteousness and to walk in accordance with God's will.
