Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from a primary word

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H8141 שָׁנָה (shanah): This Hebrew word is the equivalent of ἔτος in the Old Testament, also meaning "year." It is used extensively throughout the Hebrew Scriptures to denote the passage of time, the age of individuals, and the duration of events or reigns.

In summary, ἔτος is a fundamental term in the New Testament that conveys the concept of a year, serving both chronological and theological purposes within the biblical narrative.

Usage: The term ἔτος is used in the New Testament to denote a period of one year. It appears in various contexts, often to indicate the passage of time or to specify the duration of events.

Context: The Greek word ἔτος (étos) is a noun that signifies a year, a unit of time that is foundational in both secular and sacred contexts. In the New Testament, ἔτος is used to mark the passage of time, often in relation to significant events or periods in the life of Jesus Christ and the early Church.

For instance, in Luke 2:41-42, the term is used to describe the annual pilgrimage of Jesus' family to Jerusalem: "Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast." Here, ἔτος underscores the regularity and religious observance of the Jewish calendar.

In Luke 13:7, the word is used in a parable to express a period of expectation and patience: "So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore, cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’" The use of ἔτος here highlights the duration of unfruitfulness and the impending judgment.

The term also appears in the context of Jesus' ministry, as seen in Luke 4:19, where Jesus reads from the scroll of Isaiah, proclaiming "the year of the Lord’s favor." This usage of ἔτος signifies a prophetic and eschatological time of divine grace and salvation.

The concept of a year in biblical times was not only a measure of time but also carried theological significance, often associated with cycles of sowing and reaping, rest and renewal, and divine intervention in human history.
