Berean Strong's Lexicon Betach: Security, safety, confidence Original Word: בֶּטַח Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Betach Pronunciation: BEH-takh Phonetic Spelling: (beh'takh) Definition: Security, safety, confidence Meaning: Betach Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4006 (pepoithēsis): Confidence, trust - G1515 (eirēnē): Peace, tranquility Usage: The Hebrew word "Betach" primarily conveys a sense of security, safety, and confidence. It is often used in the context of feeling secure or being in a state of trust, whether in God, in a physical location, or in a situation. The term implies a sense of peace and assurance that comes from reliance on a trustworthy source. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of security was deeply tied to one's relationship with God. The Israelites were often surrounded by hostile nations, and their sense of safety was linked to their covenant relationship with Yahweh. Trust in God was seen as the ultimate source of security, surpassing military might or fortified cities. The term "Betach" reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing reliance on divine protection and provision.
