Faithful

  
The Christian Martyrs' Last Prayer, by Jean-Léon Gérôme

Faithfulness" in the Bible has an internal meaning that is pretty close to how it is understood today. People described as “faithful” embrace the desires for good that come from the Lord. When the Lord Himself is described as faithful, it refers to His own Divine desire for good.

7 [Whatever is] for the prince [shall be] on the one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy offering and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.

8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
