It's no secret...I LOVE the Hebrew language. Each word is made up of a series of pictures or meanings, which when placed together to produce a single word, give a fuller, richer understanding of the single word. Since this is a concept that only truly comes alive when individual words and their Hebrew roots are explored, I've decided to keep track of some on my blog.
Betach – trust בטח
“In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust.”
The word trust here is better translated to cling, as with the closely related word avatiyach (watermelon, אבטיח – see the shared root letters?).
Even though it’s huge (just as our worries can seem), it still clings to the vine for its nourishment. We may not see the Father, but we cling to Him, for He’s our strength and our life-nourishment.
