Strong's Lexicon token: Token, measure, standard Original Word: תֹּכֶן Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּכַן (takan), meaning "to measure" or "to weigh." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of measure or standard is μέτρον (metron), Strong's Greek #3358, which also conveys the idea of a measure or standard. Usage: The Hebrew word תּוֹכֶן (tokhen) primarily refers to a measure or standard used for weighing or evaluating. It conveys the idea of something that serves as a benchmark or a point of reference. In biblical contexts, it can imply a standard of righteousness or justice, as well as a literal measure of weight or volume. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, accurate measures and weights were crucial for trade and commerce. The use of fair and honest measures was mandated by the Law of Moses, reflecting God's concern for justice and integrity in economic transactions. The concept of a "token" or standard was not only practical but also symbolic of divine justice and righteousness. The use of measures was deeply embedded in the daily life and religious practices of the Israelites, serving as a reminder of God's standards.
