- English abstract
- This essay analyses the idea of faith in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on the Hebrew verb אמן hiphcil and reviewing all instances of the root in their literary and redactional contexts. Distinguishing three steps, the essay argues for the literary priority of Num 14:11, where the motif is used with a theological meaning for the first time – the people are accused of “not believing”, when they despise the gift of the land – culminating in the maximalist use of the term in Isa 7, where faith denotes the fundamental attitude of humans towards God.
