Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 3928: παρερχομαι (parerchomai) • to pass by, to pass away

These Greek terms similarly convey the concept of passing or changing, often used in the New Testament to describe the transient nature of earthly things in contrast to the eternal nature of God's kingdom.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of passing on or passing away, often implying a transition or change. It is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: The Aramaic verb חֲלַף (chalaf) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, where Aramaic was commonly used. It conveys the idea of passing or transitioning, whether it be time, events, or conditions. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to describe the passing of time or the changing of circumstances. The term can also imply the end of a particular period or the transformation of a situation. This reflects the broader theological theme of God's sovereignty over time and history, as He orchestrates the rise and fall of kingdoms and the unfolding of His divine plan.
