Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἅπαξ, the concept of singularity or a one-time event can be found in various Hebrew terms and phrases that convey similar meanings, such as "אֶחָד" (echad, Strong's H259), meaning "one" or "single," which is often used to denote unity or singularity in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The word ἅπαξ is used in the New Testament to emphasize the singularity or uniqueness of an event or action. It often underscores the sufficiency or finality of a particular occurrence. Context: The Greek adverb ἅπαξ appears in several key passages within the New Testament, each highlighting the concept of a singular, definitive action. In Hebrews 9:27-28, ἅπαξ is used to describe the once-for-all nature of Christ's sacrificial offering: "Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many." This passage underscores the completeness and sufficiency of Christ's atonement, contrasting it with the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament.
