Berean Strong's Lexicon Yakin: Jachin Original Word: יָכִין Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כון (kun), meaning "to establish" or "to make firm." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Jachin," as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of establishing or making firm can be related to Greek words like στηρίζω (sterizo), meaning "to establish" or "to strengthen." Usage: The name "Jachin" means "He will establish" or "He establishes." In the Bible, Jachin is primarily known as the name of one of the two bronze pillars erected at the entrance of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. The name signifies stability and the establishment of God's presence and covenant with His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of a person's character or role. The pillars Jachin and Boaz (the other pillar) were not only architectural features but also symbolic representations of God's strength and stability. The temple itself was the center of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people, making these pillars significant in the religious and cultural life of Israel.
