-G3985 (πειράζω - peirazo): To test, try, tempt

Usage:The Hebrew verb "bachan" primarily means to test or examine something to determine its quality, genuineness, or value. It is often used in the context of refining metals, where the process of testing involves removing impurities to reveal the true nature of the material. In a broader sense, "bachan" is used metaphorically to describe the testing of individuals, particularly their faith, character, or integrity.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, the process of testing metals was a common practice, as metals like gold and silver were valuable commodities. The imagery of refining and testing metals was thus a powerful metaphor for spiritual and moral examination. The concept of testing is deeply embedded in the Hebrew understanding of God's relationship with His people, where trials and tests are seen as opportunities for growth and purification.
