Abstract: The present study deals with the seven Hebrew terms אַהֲבָה, חֵן, חַנּוּן, רֶחֶם, רַחוּם, רַחֲמִים, חֶסֶד and their translations in major Slovak Bible translations. The terms and their translations are analyzed according to their context and their syntax in the original text. The study highlights how the lexical characteristics and the literary context are important in determining the validity of the new Slovak translations.
