Strong's Lexicon hun: To be easy, to be ready, to be prepared Original Word: הוּן Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: huwn Pronunciation: hoon Phonetic Spelling: (hoon) Definition: To be easy, to be ready, to be prepared Meaning: to be naught, to be, light Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "הוּן" (hun), the concept of divine preparation and readiness can be seen in Greek words like "ἑτοιμάζω" (hetoimazō - Strong's Greek 2090), which means to prepare or make ready. Usage: The Hebrew verb "הוּן" (hun) primarily conveys the idea of being easy or ready. It suggests a state of preparedness or ease in action or condition. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a readiness or ease that comes from divine provision or preparation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of readiness or ease was often associated with divine favor and provision. The Israelites believed that God prepared and provided for those who were faithful to Him, making their paths straight and their burdens light. This understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where God prepares the way for His people or makes their tasks easier through His intervention.
