SIBI-P1 H4009-09
their trust-refuge
| Root | בטח (b-ṭ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | trust, security, confidence, reliance, safety |
| Semantic Range | refuge, security, object of trust, confidence, hope, place or source of safety |
| Conceptual Significance | This term expresses the object in which one places trust—whether in YHWH, false gods, alliances, or material strength—highlighting the biblical contrast between true security in God and misplaced confidence in human or idolatrous supports. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (מִבְטָח) in construct form with 3mp pronominal suffix; literally "the refuge/trust of them." Derived noun from Qal root בטח. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִבְטָח (mibṭāḥ) derives from the root בטח, "to trust, feel secure." The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, indicating one object belonging to them. "Their trust-refuge" preserves the singular noun and explicitly reflects the root sense of trust and security. |
