It reflects a deep-seated assurance and reliance on God's character, promises, and providence. In the Old Testament, "bittachon" is used to describe the trust that the faithful place in God, as opposed to reliance on human strength or material wealth.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, trust in God was a central tenet of faith. The Israelites were often surrounded by hostile nations and faced numerous challenges, from warfare to famine. In this context, "bittachon" was not merely an abstract concept but a practical necessity for survival and spiritual well-being. Trust in God was encouraged as a means of finding peace and security amidst uncertainty and adversity. This trust was often contrasted with the futility of trusting in idols, military might, or wealth.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/982.htm">batach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>trust<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>confidence (2), hope (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">בִּטָּחוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>trust</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/18-19.htm">2 Kings 18:19</a> = <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/36-4.htm">Isaiah 36:4</a>;
