Strong's Lexicon Token: Measure, value, estimate Original Word: תֹּכֶן Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּכַן (takan), meaning "to measure" or "to weigh." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of measurement and evaluation is μέτρον (metron), Strong's Greek #3358, which also conveys the idea of measure or standard. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, תּוֹכֶן (token) primarily refers to the concept of measurement or evaluation. It is used to denote the act of assessing or determining the value or worth of something. This term is often associated with fairness and justice, as accurate measurement is crucial in maintaining equity, especially in trade and legal matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, accurate measurement was vital for maintaining justice and fairness in society. The use of honest weights and measures was a significant concern, as it directly impacted trade, property rights, and social equity. The Hebrew culture placed a strong emphasis on justice, and accurate measurement was seen as a reflection of one's integrity and righteousness. The concept of תּוֹכֶן (token) would have been understood within this broader context of ethical conduct and societal norms.
