In the context of the Bible, it often refers to the establishment of justice, righteousness, or proper conduct according to divine standards. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of setting things right was deeply embedded in the legal and moral framework. The Hebrew people were governed by laws that were intended to reflect God's holiness and justice. The act of "teqan" would have been understood as aligning with God's will and ensuring that one's actions were in accordance with His commandments. This concept was crucial in maintaining social order and religious purity.
