HELPS Word-studies 1096 gínomai – properly, to emerge, become, transitioning from one point (realm, condition) to another. 1096 (gínomai) fundamentally means "become" (becoming, became) so it is not an exact equivalent to the ordinary equative verb "to be" (is, was, will be) as with 1510 /eimí (1511 /eínai, 2258 /ēn). 1096 (ginomai) means "to become, and signifies a change of condition, state or place" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 109). M. Vincent, "1096 (gínomai) means to come into being/manifestation implying motion, movement, or growth" (at 2 Pet 1:4). Thus it is used for God's actions as emerging from eternity and becoming (showing themselves) in time (physical space).

Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A middle voice verb, derived from the root γίνομαι, which is related to the Greek word γένος (genos), meaning "kind" or "offspring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek verb γίνομαι corresponds to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings of becoming or happening, such as: • Strong's Hebrew 1961 (הָיָה, hayah): Often translated as "to be" or "to become," this term is used in contexts where something comes into existence or occurs. • Strong's Hebrew 6213 (עָשָׂה, asah): Meaning "to do" or "to make," it is used in contexts of creation or bringing something into being. • Strong's Hebrew 1933 (הָוָה, havah): Another term for "to be" or "to become," used in various contexts of change or occurrence. These Hebrew terms reflect the dynamic and transformative aspects of γίνομαι as seen in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term γίνομαι is used extensively in the New Testament, appearing in various contexts to describe events, transformations, or the fulfillment of divine purposes. It is often translated as "become," "come to pass," "happen," or "be made." Context: • General Overview: The verb γίνομαι is a fundamental term in the New Testament, reflecting the dynamic nature of God's interaction with the world. It is used to describe both physical and spiritual transformations, as well as the unfolding of God's plan in history. • Theological Significance: In the New Testament, γίνομαι is frequently used to describe the fulfillment of prophecy and the realization of God's promises. For example, in Matthew 1:22, it is used to indicate the fulfillment of what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet." • Christological Context: The term is significant in Christological passages, emphasizing the incarnation and the transformative work of Christ. In John 1:14, it is used to describe the Word becoming flesh: "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us." • Eschatological Implications: γίνομαι is also used in eschatological contexts, highlighting the coming of God's kingdom and the ultimate transformation of creation. In Revelation 21:6, it is used to declare the completion of God's redemptive work: "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." • Ethical and Moral Transformation: The term is employed to describe the moral and ethical transformation expected of believers. In Romans 12:2, Paul exhorts believers to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind," using a related form of γίνομαι to emphasize the change in character and conduct.
