The Hebrew Root of Amen

This teaching explores the Hebrew root of the word 'amen'. In Hebrew, amen comes from the verb aman, meaning to be firm, faithful or trustworthy. When we say amen we are affirming that something is true and standing firmly on it. The teaching also addresses claims that 'amen' refers to an Egyptian deity and shows that in Scripture the word simply expresses agreement and trust.
