In these times of relativization, “fake-news” and “post-factual” discourse, where every discussion about “truth” eventually ends up with the question: “Whose truth?” it can be interesting to explore new perspectives through ancient sources.

Today we’re back again with yet another installment of our new “Biblical Hebrew For Beginners” series, teaching you one Hebrew word at a time. In this episode we’re looking at the Hebrew word for truth, “Emet”, its components, structure and implications.
