Chen describes the favor, charm, or kindness that one person shows another, often a superior to an inferior. “Noah found grace (chen) in the eyes of the LORD” is its classic use — unearned favor that rescues.

It anticipates the New Testament’s grace (charis): God’s kindness given freely, not because it is deserved. From Noah to the blessing of Numbers 6, chen shows a God inclined to show favor.
