The article compares untranslatable meanings of «πίστις» and «אֱמוּנָה» in the linguistic and semantic universes of Judaism and Christianity as reflected in Genesis 15:6. It is being noted, that a translation inevitably brings in local linguistic and cultural connotations, accumulated by the target language, into the meaning of the Sacred original.
