Strong's Lexicon hen: Behold, lo, see Original Word: הֵן Part of Speech: Interjection Transliteration: hen Pronunciation: hane Phonetic Spelling: (hane) Definition: lo!, there, less, whether, but, if Meaning: The word is used as an interjection or conjunction with meanings such as "lo!", "there", "less", "whether", "but", and "if". Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew word הֵן (hen) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1487: εἰ (ei) • often used to introduce conditional clauses, similar to "if" in English. • Strong's Greek Number 1065: γάρ (gar) • a conjunction often translated as "for" or "because", used to explain or provide reason. • Strong's Greek Number 235: ἀλλά (alla) • a conjunction meaning "but" or "however", used to contrast statements. These Greek entries reflect similar functions in the New Testament, where particles and conjunctions serve to connect and emphasize statements, much like הֵן in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Usage: This Aramaic term appears in the context of biblical passages where it serves to introduce statements or conditions, often indicating a sense of immediacy or emphasis. Context: The Aramaic word הֵן (hen) is a versatile term found in the biblical texts, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic. It functions as a particle that can introduce various types of clauses, including conditional, concessive, and exclamatory. In the context of biblical narrative and prophecy, הֵן often serves to draw attention to a particular statement or to set the stage for a conditional scenario. For example, in the book of Daniel, הֵן is used to introduce statements that highlight the sovereignty and power of God, as well as the faithfulness of His servants. The term can also be found in legal or formal declarations, where it underscores the gravity or certainty of the statement being made. In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of הֵן may vary depending on the context, reflecting its diverse usage. It can be rendered as "lo!" to express surprise or emphasis, "there" to indicate location or presence, "less" in comparative statements, "whether" in questions or alternatives, "but" to contrast ideas, and "if" to introduce conditional clauses.
