Strong's Lexicon Kun: To establish, to prepare, to make firm, to set up Original Word: כּוּן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4741 (stērizō): To make firm, establish - G2311 (themelioō): To lay a foundation, establish Usage: The Hebrew verb "kun" primarily conveys the idea of establishing or making something firm and stable. It is often used in contexts where preparation, setting up, or making something ready is involved. The term can also imply the act of confirming or making something certain and reliable. In the biblical narrative, "kun" is frequently used to describe God's actions in establishing His covenant, His plans, or His creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of establishing or making something firm was significant, especially in relation to covenants, structures, and leadership. The stability and reliability of a king's reign, a building's foundation, or a covenant's terms were crucial for societal and religious life. The use of "kun" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects the importance of divine intervention in ensuring the stability and success of these elements.
