It conveys the idea of something that has undergone examination and has been found to be genuine or trustworthy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of testing and proving was significant in various aspects of life, including metallurgy, where metals were tested for purity, and in legal and moral contexts, where individuals or actions were examined for integrity. The process of testing was seen as a means to reveal true character or quality, aligning with the broader biblical theme of God testing His people to refine and purify them.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בָּחוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>assayer, one who tries metals</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/6-27.htm">Jeremiah 6:27</a> (Ges<sup>§ 84</sup>, 3 Ew<sup>§ 152 b</sup>). <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>tower <p>From <a href="/hebrew/974.htm">bachan</a>; an assayer or metals -- tower. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/974.htm">bachan</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בָּח֛וֹן בחון bā·ḥō·wn baChon bāḥōwn<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/jeremiah/6-27.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 6:27</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> בָּח֛וֹן </b> נְתַתִּ֥יךָ בְעַמִּ֖י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/jeremiah/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> I have made <span class="itali">you an assayer</span> [and] a tester<br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> I have set <span class="itali">thee [for] a tower</span> [and] a fortress<br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/6-27.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">an assayer</span> have made my people<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_969.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_969.htm">Strong's Hebrew 969<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bachon_969.htm">bā·ḥō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/968.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="968"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="968" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/969a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="969a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="969a" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
