Curtius, § 210) a year viewed as a cycle or period of time, ἔτος as a division or sectional portion of time.] Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a primary Greek root related to the concept of a cycle or period of time. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek term ἐνιαυτός corresponds to several Hebrew words that denote a year or annual cycle, including: - Strong's Hebrew 8141: שָׁנָה (shanah) • A year, a measure of time. - Strong's Hebrew 3117: יוֹם (yom) • While primarily meaning "day," it can also refer to a year in certain contexts, emphasizing the cyclical nature of time. These Hebrew terms, like ἐνιαυτός, are used throughout the Old Testament to mark time, describe the duration of events, and establish the rhythm of religious observances. Usage: The term ἐνιαυτός is used in the New Testament to denote a year, often in the context of marking time or describing events that occur annually. Context: The Greek word ἐνιαυτός (eniautós) appears in the New Testament to signify a year, a fundamental unit of time measurement in both ancient and modern contexts. This term is used to describe the passage of time in a cyclical manner, reflecting the natural order of seasons and the completion of a full cycle of months. In the New Testament, ἐνιαυτός is used in various contexts, often to denote the duration of events or the fulfillment of specific time periods. For example, in Luke 4:19, Jesus reads from the scroll of Isaiah, proclaiming "the year of the Lord's favor," indicating a significant period marked by divine grace and liberation. This usage underscores the theological significance of time in God's redemptive plan. The concept of a year in biblical times was closely tied to agricultural cycles, religious festivals, and sabbatical years, which were integral to the social and religious life of the Jewish people. The term ἐνιαυτός thus carries connotations of both temporal measurement and spiritual significance, as it often relates to God's appointed times and seasons. In Hebrews 9:25, the term is used to describe the annual entrance of the high priest into the Holy of Holies, highlighting the repetitive and cyclical nature of Old Testament sacrificial practices. This annual ritual foreshadows the ultimate and once-for-all sacrifice of Christ, who entered the heavenly sanctuary to secure eternal redemption. Overall, ἐνιαυτός serves as a reminder of the ordered structure of time established by God and the unfolding of His purposes within the framework of human history.
