Usage: This word is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to convey a sense of conclusion or exception in a statement. Context: לָהֵן (lahen) is an Aramaic conjunction found in the biblical texts of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant Aramaic sections. The word functions to introduce a logical conclusion or an exception to a preceding statement. In the context of these books, לָהֵן often appears in royal decrees or official communications, reflecting the formal and legal language of the time. For example, in Daniel 2:6, the word is used to introduce a consequence or result of an action: "But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore, tell me the dream and its interpretation." Here, לָהֵן serves to connect the promise of rewards with the condition of revealing the dream and its meaning. Similarly, in Ezra 4:22, it is used to emphasize the importance of compliance with a royal command: "Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why allow this threat to increase and the royal interests to suffer?" The use of לָהֵן in these contexts underscores its role in articulating logical outcomes or exceptions within the narrative.
