It often translates to "thus" or "so" in English, signifying that something is true or correct. It can also imply a logical conclusion, as in "therefore" or "surely." In some contexts, it is used to express the idea of being right or just.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of truth and affirmation was deeply rooted in the language. The use of "ken" reflects a society that valued certainty and reliability. The word's connection to the root "kun" emphasizes the importance of being established and firm, which was crucial in a world where oral tradition and spoken agreements were foundational to community life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. adverb Definition so, thus NASB Translation accordingly (2), after* (1), afterward* (18), afterwards* (5), because* (1), case (1), correctly (1), enough (1), even (2), exactly (1), follows (1), hence (1), here (1), inasmuch* (5), like (3), like this (1), likewise (10), means* (2), more (4), nevertheless (1), now* (1), possessed* (1), practice* (1), reason* (4), right (1), same (8), same way (1), since* (1), so (226), so* (1), such (3), such a thing (2), such* (1), surely (2), then (1), thereafter* (1), therefore (190), therefore* (138), this (24), this is how (1), this account (1), this manner (1), this reason (1), thus (51), very well (2), yet (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. כֵּן adjective right, veritable, honest (properly firm, upright; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb046701.gif"> recte PS1662) — absolute כֵּן <a href="/interlinear/exodus/10-29.htm">Exodus 10:29</a> + (on possibly construct see 2 near the end); plural כֵּנִים <a href="/interlinear/genesis/42-11.htm">Genesis 42:11</a>,19,31,33,34; — 1 right, usually indecl., often as substantive a right thing, especially with vbb. dicendi <a href="/interlinear/exodus/10-29.htm">Exodus 10:29</a> (J) כֵּן דִּבַּרְתָּ, <a href="/interlinear/numbers/27-7.htm">Numbers 27:7</a> כֵּן דֹּבְרֹת, <a href="/interlinear/numbers/36-5.htm">Numbers 36:5</a> (both P); כֵּן יַאֲרִיךְ <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/28-2.htm">Proverbs 28:2</a> (the) right (i.e. order and justice) shall last long (see De Now VB); = adverb aright, of pronunciation <a href="/interlinear/judges/12-6.htm">Judges 12:6</a>; also with verb agendi <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/8-10.htm">Ecclesiastes 8:10</a> (on <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/33-23.htm">Isaiah 33:23</a> see III. כֵּן below כנן); right well <a href="/interlinear/psalms/65-10.htm">Psalm 65:10</a>; (Che; al. = so); with לֹא, as adjective, not right דְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹאכֵֿן <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/17-9.htm">2 Kings 17:9</a> things which were not right (verb agendi); of heart of a fool <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/15-7.htm">Proverbs 15:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/23-10.htm">Jeremiah 23:10</a>; as substantive = what is not right, upright <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/8-6.htm">Jeremiah 8:6</a>; with verb agendi לֹאכֵֿן <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/7-9.htm">2 Kings 7:9</a> that which is not right we are doing, <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-30.htm">Jeremiah 48:30</a> b. 2 veritable, true, כֵּןצְֿדָקָה <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/11-19.htm">Proverbs 11:19</a> the veritable of righteousness = true righteousness; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/16-6.htm">Isaiah 16:6</a> = <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-30.htm">Jeremiah 48:30</a> a may be either their boastings are not true or (Thes Che Di Du Gr Gie and others) the untruth of their boastings (לֹאכֵֿן as compound construct); absolute, in assent to something already said, Right!
