It often refers to a covenant or a pledge, emphasizing the reliability and steadfastness expected in such commitments. The word conveys a deep sense of loyalty and fidelity, whether in human relationships or in the divine-human relationship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants were solemn agreements that were foundational to social and religious life. They were often sealed with rituals and oaths, signifying a serious commitment between parties. The concept of "amanah" reflects this cultural context, highlighting the importance of faithfulness and trust in maintaining social order and religious devotion. In the biblical narrative, covenants are central to God's relationship with His people, underscoring His unwavering faithfulness and the expected response of loyalty from His followers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/539.htm">aman</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>faith, support<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>agreement (1), firm regulation (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲמָנָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>faith, support</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">אֲנַחְנוּ</font> <font class="hebrew2">כֹּרְתִים אֲמָנָה</font> <em>we are plighting faith</em> (make a sure covenant AV RV) <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-1.htm">Nehemiah 10:1</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עַל המ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <em>support, fixed provision</em>, for the singers <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11-23.htm">Nehemiah 11:23</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>certain portion, sure <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/543.htm">'amen</a>; something fixed, i.e. A covenant.
