Strong's Lexicon taan: Response, Testimony Original Word: תַּעַן Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּעַן (ta'an), which is not widely attested in Hebrew but is related to the concept of response or testimony. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of testimony or response is μαρτυρία (martyria), Strong's Greek 3141, which is used in the New Testament to denote witness or testimony, particularly in the context of bearing witness to the truth of the Gospel. Usage: The Hebrew word "taan" is used to denote a response or testimony, often in the context of a formal declaration or answer. It implies a verbal expression that is given in reply to a question or as a statement of truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of testimony was crucial, especially in legal and religious contexts. Testimonies were often given in courts or as part of religious rituals, serving as a means to establish truth and justice. The Hebrew legal system placed a high value on the integrity and reliability of a witness's testimony, reflecting the broader cultural emphasis on truthfulness and accountability.
