lit.
for therefore
, emphasizing the ground pleonastically (
Ew
§ 353 a). The orig. force of the phrase is traceable in some of the passages in which it occurs, as
Gn 18:5
let me fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort your heart;
עַל עַבְדְּכֶם כִּי־עַל־כֵּן עֲבַרְתֶּם
for therefore
(sc. to partake of such hospitality) are ye come to your servant,
Nu 14:43
the Amalekite and the Canaanite are there, and ye will fall by the sword,
כִּי־עַל־כֵּן שַׁבְתֶּם
for therefore
(to encounter such a fate) have ye turned back from
י׳
, etc.: but in process of time the distinct sense of its component parts was no doubt gradually obscured, and it thus came to be used conventionally, as a
mere
particle of causation, even where there was no preceding statement to which
עַל כֵּן
therefore
could be explicitly referred.
אֲשֶׁר עַל כֵּן
appears to be used similarly (
