Strong's Lexicon shenath: Year Original Word: שְׁנָת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁנָה (shanah), meaning "to change" or "to repeat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2094 (ἔτος, etos) - Greek word for "year." Usage: The Hebrew word "shenath" is used to denote a "year" in the context of time. It is often used in the Hebrew Bible to mark the passage of time, to denote the age of individuals, or to specify the duration of events. The concept of a year in ancient Israel was primarily based on the lunar calendar, which was adjusted periodically to align with the solar year. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the year was a significant unit of time for agricultural, religious, and social purposes. The Hebrew calendar was lunar-based, with months beginning with the new moon. The year was divided into agricultural seasons, which were crucial for planting and harvest cycles. The Israelites also observed a sabbatical year (every seventh year) and the Year of Jubilee (every fiftieth year), which had profound social and economic implications, such as the release of debts and the liberation of slaves.
