This study investigates the concept of humility (ʿānāw) as a religious virtue in the Old Testament, analyzing its linguistic, theological, and ethical dimensions. The Hebrew term ʿānāw, far from denoting weakness, reflects a spiritual disposition that shapes human relationships with God, others, and self. Through a comprehensive exegetical and theological framework, the thesis explores humility across prophetic, wisdom, and historical literature, with particular focus on the figures of Joseph, Moses, and David. Their narratives illustrate humility as a moral strength in leadership, divine calling, and repentance. The research applies historical-critical, narrative, and comparative methods, engaging key scholarly voices such as Gerhard von Rad, Walter Brueggemann, and Christopher J. H. Wright. The analysis highlights the dual character of humility: it is both a personal moral stance and a communal ethical imperative.

A dolgozat az עָנָו (ʿānāw) héber kifejezés nyelvészeti, teológiai és etikai vizsgálatán keresztül tárja fel az alázat vallási erényként való megjelenését az Ószövetségben. Célja annak bemutatása, miként határozza meg ez a gyakran félreértett fogalom az ember viszonyát Istenhez, önmagához és embertársaihoz. A tanulmány szisztematikusan elemzi az alázat jelentéstartományát a történeti, prófétai és bölcsességi irodalom szövegkorpuszaiban, különös figyelemmel József, Mózes és Dávid alakjára. A kutatás lexikográfiai és kommentári forrásokra támaszkodva alkalmaz nyelvészeti, történetkritikai és teológiai módszereket, valamint párbeszédet folytat több kortárs tudós, köztük Gerhard von Rad, Walter Brueggemann és Christopher J. H. Wright megközelítésével.

Title of my dissertation: "The History and Some Characteristic of Hungarian Protestant Bible Translations". The sources of translations and revisions are extensive, as a significant number of translations have been produced, spanning many centuries. The primary objective of this paper is to provide a detailed presentation of the history of Hungarian Protestant Bible translations and to conduct a comparison among the texts of these translations. The focus of the paper is on complete Hungarian Bible translations, while partial translations are only mentioned briefly. The translators continuously strived to convey the divine message as accurately and comprehensibly as possible to Hungarian readers. They took into account linguistic and cultural changes to ensure that the texts would meet the needs of the respective era and be easily understood by readers.
