The term "occurred" in the context of the Bible refers to events or incidents that took place within the narrative of Scripture. The Bible, as a historical and theological document, records numerous events that are significant to the faith and understanding of God's interaction with humanity. These occurrences are often pivotal moments that reveal God's character, His plans for humanity, and His covenantal relationship with His people.

Occurrences in the Old Testament

1. Creation: One of the most foundational events that occurred is the creation of the world. Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This occurrence sets the stage for the entire biblical narrative, establishing God as the sovereign Creator.

2. The Flood: The occurrence of the flood is a significant event in Genesis 6-9. God saw the wickedness of humanity and decided to cleanse the earth with a flood, sparing only Noah and his family. Genesis 7:11-12 describes the event: "In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights."

3. The Exodus: The deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt is a central occurrence in the Old Testament. Exodus 12:41 records, "At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions left Egypt." This event marks the beginning of Israel's journey to the Promised Land and is celebrated annually in the Passover.

4. The Giving of the Law: Another significant occurrence is the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai. Exodus 19:18 describes the scene: "Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. The smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently."

Occurrences in the New Testament

1. The Birth of Jesus: The incarnation of Christ is a pivotal occurrence in the New Testament. Luke 2:6-7 states, "While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. And she gave birth to her firstborn Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."

2. The Crucifixion and Resurrection: The death and resurrection of Jesus are central to Christian faith. Matthew 27:50-51 records the moment of Jesus' death: "When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit. At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked, and the rocks were split." The resurrection is recorded in Matthew 28:6: "He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He lay."

3. The Ascension: The ascension of Jesus is another significant occurrence. Acts 1:9 describes, "After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight."

4. Pentecost: The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost is a key event in the early church. Acts 2:2-4 states, "Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw tongues like flames of a fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."

These occurrences, among others, are not merely historical events but are seen as divine interventions that shape the course of human history and reveal God's redemptive plan. Each occurrence is a testament to God's sovereignty, faithfulness, and love for His creation.(imp. & p. p.) of Occur.1096. ginomai -- to come into being, to happen, to become
