It is often used in the context of placing one's trust in God, highlighting a sense of security and reliance on His faithfulness and strength. The term can also imply a sense of boldness or assurance that comes from trusting in a reliable source.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, trust was a fundamental aspect of the covenant relationship between God and His people. Trusting in God was not merely an abstract concept but a practical reliance on His promises and character. This trust was often contrasted with reliance on human strength, wealth, or foreign alliances, which were seen as inadequate and ultimately unreliable. The cultural context emphasized the importance of faithfulness and loyalty, both in human relationships and in one's relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to speak rashly or thoughtlessly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>speak thoughtlessly (1), speaks rashly (1), spoke rashly (1), thoughtlessly (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">בָּטָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">בָּטָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>speak rashly, thoughtlessly</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, <font class="hebrew2">בטי</font>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">בּוֺטֶה</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/12-18.htm">Proverbs 12:18</a> <em>one that babbleth</em> (opposed to <font class="hebrew2">לְשׁוֺן חֲכָמִים</font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יְבַטֵּא בִשְׁבוּעָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/5-4.htm">Leviticus 5:4</a> <em>speak rashly, unadvisedly</em>;
