Strong's Lexicon toinun: therefore, then, so then Original Word: τοίνυν Word Origin: A compound of τοι (toi, an emphatic particle) and νυν (nun, meaning "now" or "then") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "τοίνυν," similar conjunctions in Hebrew that serve to draw conclusions or emphasize points include "לָכֵן" (lakhen, meaning "therefore") and "וְעַתָּה" (ve'atah, meaning "and now" or "so now"). Usage: The Greek word "τοίνυν" (toinun) is a conjunction used to draw a conclusion or to emphasize a point that follows logically from what has been previously stated. It serves to transition from one thought to a consequential or resultant idea, often used to underscore the importance or inevitability of the conclusion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Greek literature and rhetoric, conjunctions like "τοίνυν" were essential for structuring arguments and narratives. They helped speakers and writers to guide their audience through complex ideas, ensuring clarity and logical flow. In the New Testament, such conjunctions are used to connect theological arguments and moral exhortations, reflecting the logical and persuasive style of the apostolic writings.
