Strong's Lexicon shabua: Week, period of seven (days or years) Original Word: שְׁבוּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root שֶׁבַע (sheva), meaning "seven." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4521 (sabbaton): Refers to the Sabbath or a week. - G1440 (hebdomas): Refers to a group of seven, often used for a week. Usage: The term "shabua" primarily refers to a period of seven days, commonly known as a week. It can also denote a period of seven years, especially in prophetic contexts. The concept of "shabua" is integral to the Jewish understanding of time, reflecting the creation week in Genesis, where God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the week was a fundamental unit of time, rooted in the creation narrative. The Sabbath, the seventh day, was a day of rest and worship, setting a rhythm for the Israelites' lives. The concept of "shabua" also extends to the "weeks" of years, as seen in the Jubilee cycle and the prophecy of Daniel's seventy weeks. These periods were significant for agricultural, social, and religious practices, emphasizing rest, renewal, and divine order.
