It is used to describe the inner contemplations or intentions of a person. In the context of the Old Testament, it often conveys the idea of deep reflection or the motivations behind actions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, thoughts and intentions were considered integral to one's character and spiritual state. The heart and mind were seen as the seat of wisdom and understanding, and thus, the concept of "rayon" was significant in evaluating one's moral and spiritual condition. The Hebrews placed a strong emphasis on aligning one's thoughts with God's will, as thoughts were believed to precede actions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7475.htm">rayon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a thought<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thoughts (6).<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">רַעְיוֺן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Dan 4:16</sup> <font size="+1"><b>thought</b></font>; — pl, construct <font class="hebrew2">רַעְיוֺנֵי לִבְבָךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-30.htm">Daniel 2:30</a>; suffix <font class="hebrew2">נַי</font>- <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-28.htm">Daniel 7:28</a>; <font class="hebrew2">ניך</font>- Kt, <font class="hebrew2">נָח</font>- Qr (K<sup>§ 53 Anm.</sup> <em>b)</em>) <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-29.htm">Daniel 2:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-10.htm">Daniel 5:10</a>, <font class="hebrew2">רַעְיֹנֹ֫הִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-16.htm">Daniel 4:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-6.htm">Daniel 5:6</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cogitation, thought <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7475.htm">ra'yown</a>; a grasp.
