Strong's Lexicon bin: To understand, discern, perceive, consider Original Word: בִּין Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4920 (suniemi): To understand, perceive - G3563 (nous): Mind, understanding Usage: The Hebrew verb "bin" primarily conveys the idea of understanding or discerning. It involves the mental process of distinguishing between different elements, grasping their significance, and making informed decisions. This term is often used in contexts where comprehension and insight are necessary, whether in interpreting dreams, understanding laws, or discerning moral and spiritual truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, wisdom and understanding were highly valued traits, often associated with leadership and righteousness. The ability to discern and understand was seen as a gift from God, essential for judges, prophets, and kings. The Hebrew concept of understanding goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge; it encompasses a deep, intuitive grasp of God's will and the ability to apply it in daily life.
