Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb in Greek. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek verb δυνώ corresponds to several Hebrew terms that describe the setting of the sun or the end of the day. These include: - H935 (בּוֹא, bo): Often used to describe the coming or going of the sun, as in "to go down" or "to set." - H8121 (שֶׁמֶשׁ, shemesh): Refers to the sun itself, often used in contexts describing its rising or setting. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the concept of the sun's movement and the transition from day to night, reflecting the natural rhythm observed in both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The verb δυνώ is used in the New Testament to describe the action of the sun setting. It conveys the idea of the sun going down or the end of daylight. Context: The Greek verb δυνώ appears in the New Testament in contexts that describe the natural phenomenon of the sun setting. This term is used to indicate the transition from day to night, marking the end of daylight hours. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, the setting of the sun often signified the end of a day's work and the beginning of evening activities or rest. In the Berean Standard Bible, δυνώ is used in passages such as Mark 1:32: "That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed." Here, the setting of the sun marks the time when people began to bring the sick to Jesus, as the Sabbath restrictions would have ended with sunset, allowing them to carry out such activities. The use of δυνώ in the New Testament is consistent with its literal meaning, emphasizing the natural order and the daily cycle of time. It serves as a temporal marker that helps to frame the narrative and situate events within the daily life of the people in biblical times.
