Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָכִין (yakin), meaning "he will establish" or "he will set up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Jakin, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, the concept of establishment and setting up, as implied by the name Jakin, can be related to Greek words like θεμελιόω (themelioo), meaning "to lay a foundation" or "to establish."

Usage: Jakin is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a name. It is associated with both a person and a significant architectural feature in the temple.

Context: • Jakin as a Person: Jakin is identified as one of the sons of Simeon, a patriarch of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. In the genealogical records, Jakin is listed among the descendants of Simeon, indicating his role in the tribal lineage. This is found in passages such as Genesis 46:10 and Exodus 6:15.

• Jakin as a Pillar: The name Jakin is also famously associated with one of the two bronze pillars erected by King Solomon at the entrance of the Temple in Jerusalem. These pillars were significant architectural and symbolic elements of the Temple. The pillar named Jakin was positioned on the right side of the entrance. The other pillar was named Boaz. The presence of these pillars is described in 1 Kings 7:21: "He set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin, and the one to the north he named Boaz." The pillars symbolized stability and strength, with Jakin representing the idea that God establishes His covenant and presence among His people.
