Jachin Jachin

There are three Jachins in the Bible. The first one mentioned is a son of Simeon, a son of Jacob. A second Jachin is mentioned among the descendants of Aaron (1 Chr 24:17). 3). The third Jachin is the right one of two pillars in front of Solomon's temple; the left one is named Boaz (1 Kings 7:21).

The name Jachin comes from the word kun (kun 964), meaning established, prepared, fixed, certain. Derivatives: ken (ken 964a), right, true; ken (ken 964b), thus, so; makon (makon 964c), place - mostly referring to God's dwelling place; mekona (mekona 964d), base - almost only used in 1 Kings 7 where it refers to the bases of the bronze lavers.

Jachin is the active form of kun (kun 964), and means He Will Establish, or He Will Give Certainty.
