Résumé
Hope in the Old Testament is based on a trusting relationship with God rather than a definite temporal expectation. The Hebrew roots, such as קוה (“expect” or “hope”) and בטח (“trust”), reveal a hope more oriented towards the act of relying on God. Hope takes the form of promises in patriarchal history and the prophets added an eschatological dimension, linking the present to future divine promises. Gradually, hope becomes spiritualized, culminating in the expectation of God himself as the ultimate object. This mutation illustrates a shift from material hope to a profound spiritual quest.
