Definition: Caren is a Hebrew term that means "a stone or iron," but its meaning can vary significantly depending on context in literature from the Bible, especially when it refers to the Earth's core. It appears in various biblical stories, legends, and narratives as a symbol of creation and darkness before God's light. In Genesis 1:3-6, this word is used metaphorically to denote the beginning of time, suggesting that everything was created initially from pure matter.
