110Trust

batach — Hebrew

Trust is reliance placed on the reliable — resting one’s case on another’s faithfulness, the confidence that stakes an outcome on the one relied upon. Batach is to take refuge, to lean the full weight on: “trust in Yahuah with all thine heart” (Proverbs 3:5). It is not vague optimism but a directed reliance — the trusting party commits his cause to another and rests on that party’s ability and faithfulness to carry it. In the courtroom, to trust is to entrust one’s standing to an advocate, to rest on the surety who guarantees. Trust is the confidence that leans wholly on the reliable one, staking the outcome on him.

The Root

Its Role in the Court

To rest a case on another is to trust, and batach is that resting — the full weight leaned on the reliable one. It is directed reliance, not vague hope: the trusting party commits his cause and stakes the outcome on the one relied upon. In the court, to trust is to entrust one’s standing to the advocate and the surety who stand good for it. Trust is confidence placed where it is warranted — the whole weight on the faithful one.

Bring It Home

In the court, you entrust your standing to the one who stands good for you.
