אָמֵן

amen

ah-MANE

truly, so be it, let it stand

Where it comes from

From the same root as emunah, to be firm. Amen is not a full stop but a signature — you are agreeing to be bound by what was just said. In this chapter the whole nation says it twelve times, out loud, to curses.

Every place it appears

Strong's H543. It stands in 24 verses of the Hebrew Old Testament. See them →

Deuteronomy 27:15

Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
