Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שֵׁן (shen), meaning "tooth."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun שֵׁן (Shen), as it is a specific geographical name without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: The term "Shen" is used in the context of a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned in the narrative of Samuel as a landmark. Context: • Shen is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in 1 Samuel 7:12. The passage describes the prophet Samuel setting up a stone between Mizpah and Shen, naming it Ebenezer, which means "stone of help," to commemorate the LORD's assistance in defeating the Philistines. The exact location of Shen is not definitively known, but it is understood to be a notable landmark or crag, possibly characterized by its tooth-like rock formations. The name itself, meaning "tooth," suggests a prominent or jagged feature in the landscape, which would have made it a recognizable point of reference in the region.
