SIBI-P1 H540-01
he made firm his trust
| Root | אמן (ʾ-m-n) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, stability, support, faithfulness, reliability, trust |
| Semantic Range | to make firm, to confirm, to support, to trust, to believe, to be faithful, to regard as reliable |
| Conceptual Significance | The root אמן underlies key biblical concepts of faith and faithfulness. Trust is not mere intellectual assent but an act of establishing oneself firmly upon what is reliable—often upon God Himself—highlighting covenantal loyalty and steadfast dependence. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Haphil (causative) stem, perfect tense, 3rd person masculine singular. The Haphil often functions with a declarative or causative sense, here expressing the act of placing or establishing trust. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic Haphil (causative) perfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys an action completed by a single male subject. Rendering it as "he made firm his trust" preserves the causative nuance of the stem (to cause firmness) while reflecting the core idea of the root אמן—firmness and reliability expressed as trust. |
