Word Origin: Derived from the root כוּן (kun), which generally means to be firm, established, or prepared. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מְכֻנָה in the Strong's Concordance.

Usage: The word מְכֻנָה is used in the context of describing a particular spot or place, often with a sense of being designated or established. Context: The Hebrew term מְכֻנָה (mekunah) appears in the Old Testament to denote a specific spot or place. It is derived from the root כוּן (kun), which conveys the idea of being firm or established. This root is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is set, prepared, or made ready. The term מְכֻנָה itself is less common and is used to indicate a particular location, often with a sense of purpose or designation. The concept of a "spot" in biblical terms can carry significant theological implications, as places are often associated with divine encounters, covenants, or events of historical and spiritual importance. The use of מְכֻנָה in the biblical text underscores the importance of specific locations in the unfolding narrative of God's interaction with His people.
