Usage: This Aramaic term is used to express affirmation or agreement, often translated as "so" or "thus" in English. It appears in contexts where a statement or action is confirmed or agreed upon. Context: The Aramaic word כֵּן (ken) is used in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. It serves as a particle of affirmation, similar to its Hebrew counterpart. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to confirm statements or actions, emphasizing the certainty or correctness of what is being described. The usage of כֵּן in these texts reflects the linguistic and cultural influences of the Aramaic language during the period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period, when Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region.
