Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
[הָגִין] adjective appropriate, suitable? (compare Late Hebrew Aramaic, above) — הַגְּדֶרֶת הֲגִינָה Ezek 42:12 the corresponding (?) wall, Ke ; otherwise Vrss ( ᵐ5 καλάμου, ᵑ9 separatum, etc.); Thes connects הגין with preceding דֶּרֶךְ, 'aptus, idoneus (de via),' AV RV 'the way directly before the wall;' in neither connection does it give good sense, and the text is doubtless wrong compare Sm Da.; Co conjecture החצר החיצונה the outer court.
