āman · H539 · HEBREW
The Hebrew root āman (אָמַן) means to be solid, firm, and reliable — to believe and lean your full weight on something or Someone, treating a promise as solid ground even before the evidence is complete, to be proven faithful and steady over time — a reliability established not by declaration but by years of sustained obedience, and to affirm what God has spoken as firm and true — the same root from which every "amen" is born, the spoken posture of someone who agrees with what God has said. Āman describes a trust so settled it shapes how you stand.
