| dc.description.abstract | The article discusses different meanings of the word mercy, considering it a key word for the
understanding of God’s revelation in the Old Testament. The complex interpretation of this
word, especially in the personal, emotional, and operational aspects, is used to describe the
relation between God and Israelites as well as the history of the chosen people.
God’s mercy, expressed in words and actions, bolstered the morale of Israelites in the time of
subsequent slaveries, giving them hope that God will never leave them, will forgive them their
wrongdoings and will lead them to the Promised Land.
Mercy is a fundamental moral value that stems from God’s love and is closely connected with
numerous moral, social and vital values. | en_EN |
