Take the 2-minute tour ×  aman (Strong's H539) and batach
(Strong's H982) are both used in the OT to imply some level of

different usages? Does it imply that believing in God is
different than trusting in God? Which one is closer to the NT
concept of faith?  share|improve this question +1: I don't know
