security
| Root | בטח (b-ṭ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | trust, reliance, confidence, security, safety |
| Semantic Range | security, safety, confidence, trustful assurance, a state of being free from fear, secure dwelling |
| Conceptual Significance | בֶּטַח expresses the experiential result of trusting in YHWH—living in confident safety rather than fear. It captures both the objective condition of protection and the inward posture of reliance that characterizes covenant faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); functions as an abstract noun expressing a state or condition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּטַח is a masculine singular absolute form denoting the state or condition that flows from trusting reliance. "Security" preserves the core sense of being in a condition of confident safety rooted in trust, reflecting the singular abstract noun form. |
