These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to describe the act of interpreting languages or explaining meanings, similar to the Hebrew concept of פִתְרוֹן.

Usage: The term פִתְרוֹן (pithron) is used in the context of interpreting dreams or enigmas, particularly in the narratives involving Joseph and Daniel, who are known for their God-given ability to interpret dreams.

Context: פִתְרוֹן (pithron) appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily in the context of dream interpretation. It is most notably used in the Book of Genesis and the Book of Daniel. In Genesis, Joseph is recognized for his ability to interpret dreams, which is described using this term. For example, in Genesis 40:12, Joseph provides the interpretation of the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker. The word is also used in Genesis 41:11-12, where Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, leading to his rise to power in Egypt. In the Book of Daniel, the term is used in a similar context, where Daniel interprets the dreams and visions of King Nebuchadnezzar and others. Daniel 2:16-30 highlights Daniel's reliance on God for the interpretation of the king's dream, emphasizing that true interpretation comes from divine revelation. The use of פִתְרוֹן underscores the belief that understanding and wisdom, especially in matters of dreams and mysteries, are gifts from God.
