Strong's Lexicon eniautos: Year Original Word: ἐνιαυτός Word Origin: Derived from a primary Greek root related to the concept of a cycle or period of time. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is שָׁנָה (shana, Strong's H8141), which also means "year." Usage: The Greek word "ἐνιαυτός" (eniautos) is used in the New Testament to denote a period of one year. It is often employed in contexts that refer to time, cycles, or specific annual events. The term emphasizes the cyclical nature of time as understood in the ancient world, where years were marked by agricultural, religious, and social cycles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of a year was closely tied to the agricultural calendar, religious festivals, and civic events. The Jewish calendar, which also influenced early Christian thought, was lunar-based and included significant annual feasts such as Passover and the Day of Atonement. Understanding the passage of years was crucial for both religious observance and daily life, as it dictated the rhythm of planting, harvesting, and worship.
