آمين

Quote: The Origin of the Word “Amen” The word “Amen” makes its first appearance in the Bible under the most solemn circumstances. When a husband accused his wife of adultery, and she protested her innocence, and she had not been caught in the act, the matter was settled by God under the test of bitter water (Num 5:12-31). The woman was taken to the priest, and the priest put her under oath. She submitted to a ceremony in which she drank some water containing dust from the tabernacle floor. If she had committed adultery, she was be cursed with a wasting disease, but if she did not get sick, then she was proven innocent and her husband was proven wrong. During the ceremony, when the priest pronounced the curse, the woman was required by God to say, "Amen, Amen". (Num 5:22). That is the first occurrence of the word in scripture. The Lord commands it to be said by a person who is yielding herself to examination by him in his presence.

Quote: According to Donald Michael Kraig in his book Modern Magic (2003:62) the word "amen" has its roots in the Literal Kabalah. It is, according to him, a kind of acronym (the kabalistic word for it is "notarikon") for a Hebrew phrase: Al Melech Nehehmahn, "God is our faithful king".
