Strong's Lexicon hagin: Suitable, fitting, appropriate Original Word: הָגִין Word Origin: Derived from the root verb הָגַן (hagan), meaning "to defend" or "to protect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of "hagin" in the Septuagint and New Testament contexts might be εὔλογος (eulogos), meaning "reasonable" or "suitable," as seen in Romans 12:1, where believers are urged to offer their bodies as a "living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." Usage: The Hebrew word "hagin" is used to describe something that is suitable or appropriate for a particular purpose or situation. It conveys the idea of something being fitting or proper, often in the context of moral or ethical standards. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of something being "hagin" or suitable was closely tied to the idea of righteousness and living according to God's laws. The Israelites were called to live lives that were "hagin" in the sight of God, meaning their actions and decisions were to align with His commandments and standards. This concept was not only applied to personal conduct but also to communal and religious practices. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom an unused word Definition perhaps appropriate, suitable.
