you men will trust securely
| Root | בטח (b-ṭ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | security, confidence, trust, reliance, safety |
| Semantic Range | to trust, rely on, feel secure, be confident, live without fear, feel safe, be bold through confidence |
| Conceptual Significance | בָּטַח expresses covenantal reliance—placing one’s sense of safety and well-being in יהוה rather than in human strength or idols. It conveys not abstract belief but embodied security and settled confidence in a trustworthy protector. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd masculine plural from בָּטַח; active voice, simple stem, indicating ongoing or future action by a masculine plural subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine plural, indicating an action performed by a group of males: "you men will trust." The addition of "securely" reflects the root sense of בטח as a state of confident security or felt safety, not merely mental belief. |
