Usage: The Hebrew word "adin" is used to describe something that is delicate or tender. It conveys a sense of gentleness and softness, often used in contexts that highlight the fragility or preciousness of an object or person. In the Bible, it can refer to physical delicacy or a gentle disposition.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of delicacy or gentleness was often associated with beauty and refinement. This could apply to both physical attributes and character traits.
