ʼâmên · Hebrew · Strong's H543 · 30 occurrences

The KJV renders 9 different Hebrew and Greek words as “truth”

What it means

sure; abstract, faithfulness; adverb, truly

from H539 (אָמַן);

How the KJV renders it

amen, so be it, truth

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

also renders alḗtheia (G225), alēthḗs (G227), ʼêmûwn (H529), ʼômen (H544), yᵉtsab (H3321), yatstsîyb (H3330), qᵉshôwṭ (H7187), qôsheṭ (H7189)
