Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁכַן (shakan), meaning "to dwell" or "to reside."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1069: γειτονία (geitonia) • neighborhood, vicinity Usage: The word שָׁכֵן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who reside in a specific location, often in the context of neighbors or fellow inhabitants of a city or region. It emphasizes the idea of dwelling together and sharing a common space. Context: The Hebrew term שָׁכֵן (shaken) is closely related to the concept of dwelling and habitation. It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to describe those who live in proximity to one another, highlighting the social and communal aspects of life in ancient Israel. The term can be found in passages that discuss the relationships between neighbors and the responsibilities they have towards each other. For example, in the context of the Israelites, being a שָׁכֵן often implied a shared identity and mutual obligations under the covenant community. The word underscores the importance of community and the interconnectedness of individuals within the society.
