Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is זָקֵן (zaqen), which means "to be old" or "to grow old." Usage: The verb "probainó" primarily means to advance or to go forward, often used in the context of progressing in age or time. It can denote the act of moving forward physically or metaphorically, such as advancing in years or in a particular state or condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, the concept of advancing in age was often associated with gaining wisdom and experience. The term "probainó" reflects a natural progression, whether in life stages or in a journey. In the biblical context, advancing in age is sometimes seen as a sign of God's blessing, as longevity was often associated with righteousness and divine favor.
