Strong's Lexicon tachanah: Station, Encampment, Resting Place Original Word: תַּחֲנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tachanah," the concept of a resting place or station can be related to Greek terms like "κατασκήνωσις" (kataskēnōsis), meaning encampment or dwelling. Usage: The Hebrew word "tachanah" refers to a station or encampment, often used in the context of a resting place during a journey. It signifies a temporary stop or a place where travelers or nomadic groups would set up camp. In the biblical narrative, it is often associated with the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where they would set up camp at various stations as directed by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "tachanah" was integral to the nomadic lifestyle. The Israelites, during their exodus from Egypt, traveled through the wilderness for 40 years, setting up camp at various stations as they followed the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. These encampments were not just physical resting places but also spiritual pauses where the Israelites could reflect on God's provision and guidance.
