Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 4459 (πῶς, pōs): An adverb meaning "how?" used in similar contexts in the New Testament to inquire about the manner or means of an action or event.

Usage: The term הֵיךְ appears in the context of questions, often seeking to understand the manner or method by which something occurs or is to be done. It is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

Context: The Hebrew word הֵיךְ is an interrogative adverb found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to pose questions regarding the manner or method of an action or event. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is translated as "how?" and is used to express inquiry or curiosity about the process or state of affairs. For example, in Daniel 3:24, King Nebuchadnezzar asks, "Did we not throw three men, bound, into the fire?" The context implies a question of how the situation has changed, as he observes four men walking unbound. The usage of הֵיךְ in these contexts highlights the speaker's desire to understand the circumstances or the means by which something has occurred.
