Berean Strong's Lexicon diaginomai: To pass through, to elapse, to intervene Original Word: διαγίνομαι Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb "γίνομαι" (ginomai, meaning "to become" or "to happen"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diaginomai," the concept of time passing or events occurring can be found in Hebrew words like "עָבַר" (abar, Strong's H5674), meaning "to pass over" or "to go through." Usage: The verb "diaginomai" is used to describe the passage of time or events. It conveys the idea of something occurring or transpiring over a period. In the New Testament, it often refers to the elapsing of time or the occurrence of events within a specific timeframe. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of time was often viewed cyclically, with events and seasons repeating in a predictable manner. The use of "diaginomai" in the New Testament reflects a linear understanding of time, where events unfold according to God's divine plan. This perspective aligns with the Judeo-Christian belief in a purposeful and directed history, moving towards the fulfillment of God's promises.
