This is seen in passages like Hebrews 11:7, where Noah is described as preparing the ark.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "dikken" is used to convey the act of preparing or making something right or straight. It often implies a sense of establishing or setting something in order, whether it be a path, a plan, or a situation. The term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, indicating physical preparation or spiritual and moral rectitude.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of preparation and making things right was deeply embedded in both daily life and religious practice. The Israelites were often called to prepare themselves for worship, battle, or significant events, reflecting a broader cultural emphasis on readiness and order. This preparation was not only physical but also spiritual, as seen in the rituals and laws that governed their lives.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/1791.htm">dek</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>this, that. <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">דִּכֵּן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>demonstrative pronoun common</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>this, that</b></font>;
