for this established reason
| Morphological Notes | Compound particle formed from לְ (preposition "to/for") + כֵּן (adverb "so/thus," from כון). Classified as an adverb/conjunction (HR/D); indeclinable and without gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | לָכֵן combines the preposition לְ ("to/for") with כֵּן ("so, thus"), from the root כון meaning "to be firm, established." The rendering "for this established reason" preserves the causal force of the particle ("therefore") while reflecting the underlying idea of something firmly set or established as the basis for what follows. As an indeclinable adverbial/conjunction, it carries no gender or number distinctions. |
