Berean Strong's Lexicon tequphah: Circuit, cycle, season, revolution Original Word: תְּקוּפָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tequphah Pronunciation: teh-koo-fah' Phonetic Spelling: (tek-oo-faw') Definition: Circuit, cycle, season, revolution Meaning: a revolution, course, lapse Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tequphah," the concept of time and seasons is often captured by Greek words such as "καιρός" (kairos - G2540) meaning "appointed time" or "season," and "χρόνος" (chronos - G5550) meaning "time" or "period." Usage: The Hebrew word "tequphah" refers to a cycle or a period of time, often associated with the completion of a circuit or a season. It is used to describe the natural cycles of time, such as the solar year or the changing of seasons. In the biblical context, it emphasizes the orderly and cyclical nature of God's creation and the passage of time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "tequphah" was significant for agricultural and religious practices. The Israelites relied on the cycles of the sun and moon to determine the timing of festivals, agricultural activities, and religious observances. The understanding of these cycles was crucial for maintaining the rhythm of life and worship in accordance with God's commandments.
