Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2889 (κόσμος, kosmos): This Greek word means "world" or "order" and is often used to describe the universe as an ordered system. It reflects the idea of arrangement and beauty in the created world.
- G5287 (ὑπόστασις, hypostasis): This term means "substance" or "assurance" and is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of something that is firmly established or has a solid foundation. It aligns with the concept of something being fixed or set in place.

These Greek terms, like תְּכוּנָה, emphasize the themes of order, arrangement, and establishment, which are central to the biblical understanding of the world and its divine governance.

Usage: The word תְּכוּנָה is used in the context of describing something that has been arranged or set in a particular order. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it emphasizes the concept of order and establishment.

Context: The Hebrew word תְּכוּנָה (Tekunah) is a noun that signifies an arrangement or something that is fixed and established. It is derived from the root תָּכַן (takan), which means to measure, arrange, or establish. This root is associated with the idea of setting things in order, whether it be physical objects, plans, or abstract concepts.

In the biblical context, תְּכוּנָה can be understood as the divine or human act of arranging or setting things in their proper place. It reflects the biblical theme of orderliness and the belief that God has established the universe with a specific design and purpose. This concept is echoed in various passages where the order of creation, the arrangement of the heavens, or the establishment of laws and decrees are highlighted.

The word is not commonly found in the Hebrew Bible, but its presence underscores the importance of order and structure in the biblical worldview. It serves as a reminder of the divine order that governs the world and the expectation that human actions should align with this established order.
