It is often translated as "lest" or "for fear that" in English. It serves to express caution or prevention, indicating an action or outcome that should be avoided.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the use of "pen" reflects a mindset of caution and foresight. The Israelites, living in a covenant relationship with God, were often reminded of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of adhering to God's commandments. The use of "pen" in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of vigilance and the avoidance of actions that could lead to negative outcomes or divine displeasure.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6438.htm">pinnah</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִּנָּה</font><sub>28</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>corner</b></font>;
