ΧΕΡΜΑΣΙΝΜΕΝ, χερμασινμεν
CHERMASINMEN, chermasinmen
Sounds Like: kher-MAH-sin-MEN
Translations: stones, rubble, indeed, certainly, on the one hand
From the root: ΧΕΡΜΑΣ, ΜΕΝ
Part of Speech: Noun, Particle
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from the dative plural of the noun ΧΕΡΜΑΣ (chermas), meaning 'stones' or 'rubble', and the enclitic particle ΜΕΝ (men). The particle μέν is often used to emphasize or contrast, frequently paired with δέ (de) later in the sentence to mean 'on the one hand... on the other hand'. Without a corresponding δέ, it can simply add emphasis, meaning 'indeed' or 'certainly'. Thus, the word means 'with stones indeed' or 'with stones certainly'.
Inflection: Dative, Plural, Masculine or Neuter (for ΧΕΡΜΑΣ); Does not inflect (for ΜΕΝ)
Strong’s number: G3303 (Lookup on BibleHub)
