Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek relative pronoun ἥ (hē) meaning "which" or "that," combined with the temporal particle νίκα (níka), which is related to the concept of time or occasion. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of timing and specific occasions in the Hebrew Bible is often conveyed through words like עֵת (ʿēt, Strong's Hebrew 6256) meaning "time" or "season," and כַּאֲשֶׁר (ka'asher, Strong's Hebrew 834) meaning "when" or "as." These Hebrew terms similarly function to denote specific times or conditions under which events occur, paralleling the use of ἡνίκα in the Greek New Testament. Usage: ἡνίκα is used in the New Testament to introduce temporal clauses, often to specify the timing of an event or action in relation to another. It is typically translated as "when" in English. Context: The Greek adverbial conjunction ἡνίκα appears in the New Testament to denote a specific time or occasion, often in the context of a narrative or teaching. It serves to connect events or actions temporally, providing clarity on the sequence or timing of occurrences. This conjunction is relatively rare in the New Testament, highlighting its specific function in the passages where it is used. In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), ἡνίκα is translated as "when," maintaining its temporal connotation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 3:16, the phrase "ἡνίκα δὲ ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς Κύριον" is rendered as "But whenever anyone turns to the Lord," indicating the moment of turning as a significant point in time. The use of ἡνίκα underscores the importance of timing in the unfolding of biblical events and teachings. It often marks a transition or a pivotal moment, emphasizing the divine orchestration of events in accordance with God's purposes.
