to'-k'-n ('oth, usually rendered "sign" (onDe 22:14ff see the comms.)): "Sign" and "token" are virtually synonymous words and in the King James Version are used with little or no distinction (inEx 13, compare 13:9 and 16). If there is any difference, "token" is perhaps more concrete and palpable than "sign," but this difference cannot be stressed. The modern use of "token," however, as a "memorial of something past" found inNu 17:10;Jos 2:12. the Revised Version (British and American) has substituted sign inEx 13:16;Ps 135:9;Isa 44:25, and the American Standard Revised Version has "evidence" inJob 21:29(a needlessly prosaic change). The four New Testament examples,Mr 14:44;Php 1:28;2Th 1:5;3:17(each for a different Greek word) are self-explanatory.
