It is often employed to emphasize the truth or assuredness of a statement. In the context of biblical Hebrew, it serves to reinforce the reliability or inevitability of a declaration or event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, language was a powerful tool for conveying truth and certainty. Words like "lahen" were used to underscore the seriousness or assuredness of a statement, often in legal, prophetic, or covenantal contexts. The use of such affirmations was crucial in a society where oral tradition and spoken agreements held significant weight.<div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>but, except, save,
