Jachin — 'he will establish'; a Simeonite clan name and the name of the right-hand pillar before Solomon's temple.
Jachin (Yakhin) is a theophoric name meaning 'he will establish,' carried by both persons and a famous architectural feature. As a personal name, it belongs to a son of Simeon listed in the genealogies of Genesis 46:10, Exodus 6:15, and Numbers 26:12. More strikingly, it is the name given to the right-hand bronze pillar standing before Solomon's temple (1 Kgs 7:21; 2 Chr 3:17), paired with Boaz on the left. The pillar names together may form a declaration: 'He will establish … in strength.' Spanish renders the name Jaquin, preserving the guttural onset.
