Strong's Lexicon ken: Thus, so, therefore, rightly, surely Original Word: כֵּן Part of Speech: Adjective; adverb; feminine; adverb Transliteration: ken Pronunciation: kane Phonetic Spelling: (kane) Definition: set upright, just, rightly, so Meaning: The term כֵּן (ken) is used to convey the ideas of being set upright, just, rightly, or so. It often implies correctness, truth, or a state of being proper or fitting. Word Origin: Derived from the root כּוּן (kun), which means "to be firm, established, or set upright." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3779 (οὕτως • houtōs): This Greek word is often used in the New Testament to mean "thus" or "so," similar to the adverbial use of כֵּן in Hebrew. It appears in contexts where actions or statements are affirmed or described in a particular manner. • G1342 (δίκαιος • dikaios): While not a direct translation, this Greek term for "righteous" or "just" captures the ethical and moral dimensions of כֵּן when used to describe actions or judgments that are upright or correct. In summary, כֵּן (ken) is a multifaceted Hebrew term that conveys notions of correctness, truth, and propriety, whether in moral, ethical, or narrative contexts. Its usage underscores the importance of alignment with divine standards and truth in the biblical narrative. Usage: The word כֵּן appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible and is used in various contexts to denote something that is right, true, or in accordance with a standard. It can be used adverbially to mean "thus" or "so," indicating a manner or way in which something is done or should be done. Context: • General Usage: The term כֵּן is versatile in its application, appearing in numerous passages throughout the Old Testament. It is often used to affirm the truth or correctness of a statement or action. For example, in Genesis 1:7, it is used to confirm the completion of God's creative act: "And it was so." • Moral and Ethical Connotations: In many instances, כֵּן is used to describe actions or judgments that are just or righteous. It reflects a standard of moral uprightness or ethical correctness. For example, in Deuteronomy 6:18, the Israelites are instructed to "do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD." • Adverbial Use: As an adverb, כֵּן often translates to "thus" or "so," indicating the manner in which something is done. This usage is seen in narrative contexts, such as in Exodus 7:6, where Moses and Aaron did "just as the LORD had commanded them." • Comparative and Correlative Use: The word can also function in comparative or correlative constructions, linking actions or statements to a standard or previous statement. For instance, in 1 Kings 3:12, God responds to Solomon's request for wisdom, saying, "I will do according to your words."
