It often introduces a statement that follows from a previous argument or situation. It serves to connect thoughts and provide a rationale for actions or declarations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, language was used not only to convey information but also to express relationships and causality. Particles like "lechenah" were essential in oral and written traditions to structure arguments and narratives. Understanding these connectors helps in grasping the flow of Biblical texts, which were often read aloud in communal settings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a concubine<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>concubines (3).<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">לְחֵנָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>concubine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">לְחֵינְתָא</font>; Fl<sup>Levy NHWB ii. 534 f.</sup> compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109904.gif">, indelicate epithet for woman; Batten<sup>Ezra 2:65</sup> compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb109905.gif"> <em>note, tune, song</em>; still otherwise Wetzst<sup>De, HL u.
