Strong's Lexicon shaanan: At ease, secure, complacent Original Word: שַׁאֲנָן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַן (sha'an), which means to be at ease or to be secure. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in words like ἀμεριμνία (amerimnia - G3308), meaning freedom from anxiety, or εἰρήνη (eirene - G1515), meaning peace. Usage: The Hebrew word "shaanan" conveys a sense of being at ease, secure, or complacent. It often describes a state of tranquility or a false sense of security, particularly in contexts where individuals or nations feel secure in their own strength or prosperity, potentially leading to complacency or neglect of spiritual vigilance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, security and ease were often associated with divine blessing and prosperity. However, the prophets frequently warned against complacency that arose from material wealth or military strength, urging the people to remain faithful to God. The term "shaanan" can thus carry a dual connotation: a positive sense of peace and security under God's protection, and a negative sense of complacency that leads to spiritual neglect.
