Strong's Lexicon tekunah: Order, Arrangement, Regulation Original Word: תְּכוּנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּכַן (takan), meaning "to measure" or "to regulate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tekunah," the concept of divine order and arrangement can be seen in Greek terms such as τάξις (taxis, Strong's G5010), meaning "order" or "arrangement," and κόσμος (kosmos, Strong's G2889), meaning "world" or "orderly arrangement." Usage: The Hebrew word "tekunah" refers to the concept of order or arrangement, often in the context of creation or the natural world. It implies a sense of divine regulation or the structured nature of God's creation. The term is used to describe the orderly and purposeful design inherent in the universe, reflecting God's wisdom and sovereignty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of order was deeply connected to the belief in a sovereign God who created and sustains the universe. The Israelites understood the world as a reflection of God's character, with its intricate design and balance serving as a testament to His power and wisdom. This understanding was foundational to their worldview, influencing their worship, ethics, and daily life.
