The Hebrew term for “truth” is emet

[Mary Naeem]

The Hebrew term for “truth” is emet, which means “truth,” “firm,” “stable,” and “faithful.” The Greek word for “truth” is aletheia, which denotes being “truthful” or “upright” or “having nothing to hide.” From these terms—and from other attributes of God that support His truthfulness such as His immutability (God cannot change), infinity, and simplicity (God cannot be partly anything)—we understand that God Himself is absolute truth. That truth will never change and can always be relied upon.
