Strong's Lexicon luwn: To lodge, to remain, to dwell, to abide, to grumble Original Word: לוּן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3437: mormyro (to murmur, to grumble) - G2641: kataleipo (to leave behind, to remain) Usage: The Hebrew verb "luwn" primarily means to lodge or spend the night. It can also imply remaining or dwelling in a place temporarily. Additionally, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of grumbling or complaining, often in the context of dissatisfaction or discontent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, hospitality was a significant social value, and travelers often relied on the kindness of others for lodging. The act of lodging or spending the night was not merely a physical necessity but also a social interaction that could involve protection, provision, and the establishment of relationships. The metaphorical use of "luwn" to mean grumbling reflects the Israelites' experiences during their wilderness journey, where they frequently expressed dissatisfaction with their circumstances.
