Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the concept of "old" as found in יָשָׁן can be seen in Strong's Greek entries such as: • G3820: παλαιός (palaios) • meaning "old" or "ancient." • G744: ἀρχαῖος (archaios) • meaning "ancient" or "original." These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of age and antiquity, often in the context of contrasting the old covenant with the new covenant or the old self with the new self in Christ. Usage: The word יָשָׁן appears in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often referring to old things, such as old garments, old wine, or old houses. It is used to contrast with new or fresh items. Context: • יָשָׁן (yāšān) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something that is old or has been in existence for a significant period. This term is often employed in a literal sense to describe physical objects that have aged, such as clothing, wine, or structures. For example, in Joshua 9:13, the Gibeonites present old sacks and wineskins as part of their ruse to make a treaty with Israel: "These wineskins were new when we filled them, but see how they have burst. And our clothes and sandals are worn out from our very long journey." • The word can also carry a metaphorical sense, indicating something that is outdated or no longer in its prime. In Leviticus 26:10, the term is used to describe the abundance of provision: "You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new." • יָשָׁן is often contrasted with חָדָשׁ (ḥāḏāš), meaning "new," highlighting the difference between the old and the new, whether in terms of physical objects or covenantal relationships.
