Strong's Lexicon meen: Kind, species, sort Original Word: מֵאֵן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מִין (miyn), which generally refers to a kind or species. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "kind" in the New Testament is often expressed with the Greek word γένος (genos), Strong's Greek #1085, which also refers to race, kind, or family. Usage: The Hebrew word "meen" is used to denote a category or classification, often in the context of creation and the natural order. It signifies the distinct kinds or species that God created, each according to its own type. This term underscores the diversity and orderliness of God's creation, emphasizing that each created being reproduces according to its kind. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of "kinds" was significant in understanding the natural world. The classification of living things into distinct categories was a way to comprehend the complexity and variety of life. The biblical use of "meen" reflects a worldview that sees the natural order as divinely instituted and maintained. This classification also served practical purposes in agriculture, animal husbandry, and dietary laws, where distinguishing between different kinds was essential.
