It conveys the idea of setting things in order or correcting something that is out of alignment. This term is often used in contexts where there is a need for organization or rectification, whether in a physical, moral, or spiritual sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of order and alignment was significant, both in daily life and in religious practice. The Israelites placed a high value on living in accordance with God's laws, which were seen as a divine order for life. The act of "taqan" would have been understood as aligning oneself or one's community with God's will, ensuring that life was lived in a way that was pleasing to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to become straight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>arranged (1), straighten (1), straightened (1).<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">תָּקַן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>become straight</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">תִּקֵּן</font> <em>arrange, put right</em>;
