It is often translated as "for the sake of," "in order that," or "because of." This word is used to express the intention behind an action or the reason for a command. It frequently appears in contexts where God's purposes or human intentions are being described.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, understanding the purpose behind actions was crucial, especially in the context of covenant relationships. The use of "maan" reflects a worldview where actions are often tied to divine or moral purposes. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes God's intentionality in His dealings with humanity and the world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6030.htm">anah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>purpose, intent<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>account (1), because (14), behalf (1), order (40), purpose (2), reason is so (1), sake (50), so (54), therefore (1), this reason (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">מַ֫עַן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>substantive</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>purpose, intent</b></font>, only with <font class="hebrew2">לְ</font>, in <font class="hebrew2">לְמַ֫עַן</font><sub>271</sub> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>preposition</b></font> and <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>conjunction</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>for the sake of, on account of, to the intent or in order that</b></font> (abbreviated from <font class="hebrew2">מַעֲנֶה</font>: compare <font class="hebrew2">מַ֫עַל</font>;
