la.hen is a conjunction that marks an inferred result or conclusion in the clauses where it occurs.

The conjunction marks a conclusion drawn from a preceding statement: Daniel 2:6 and Daniel 2:9 place it before a resulting command, while Daniel 4:24 shows the form in an interpretive declaration whose specific contribution is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. Conjunction introducing a conclusion · dominant

    All three occurrences are tagged as conjunctions. In Daniel 2:6 the form introduces the command following the stated reward for declaring the dream, and in Daniel 2:9 it introduces the command after the king's stated decree and accusation; the APB renders both clauses with “therefore.” In Daniel 4:24 the form occurs in the declaration, “This is the interpretation,” but the APB does not isolate its contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the concluding clauses in Daniel 2:6 and Daniel 2:9 with “therefore.” In Daniel 4:24 it gives “This is the interpretation,” without a separately identifiable English counterpart.
