Lexicon (Not Used): (Not Used) (Not Used)Part of Speech: Transliteration: (Not Used) (Not Used)Definition: (Not Used) Meaning: Not Used Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: ὀψέ (opse), meaning "late," and γίνομαι (ginomai), meaning "to become" or "to be born."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀψιγένετος, the concept of delayed or unexpected birth can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָלַד (yalad, Strong's 3205), meaning "to bear, bring forth, beget," and עִתּוֹ (itto, Strong's 6256), meaning "time" or "season," which together can convey the idea of birth occurring at an unexpected time. Additionally, the story of Isaac's birth in Genesis can be linked to the Hebrew term צָחַק (tsachaq, Strong's 6711), meaning "to laugh," reflecting Sarah's reaction to the promise of a son in her old age. Usage: This term is not used in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It may appear in extra-biblical Greek literature or in discussions of biblical themes where the concept of being "late-born" is metaphorically applied. Context: The term ὀψιγένετος, while not appearing in the New Testament, can be conceptually linked to themes of unexpected or delayed fulfillment in biblical narratives. For instance, the idea of a "late-born" can be metaphorically associated with figures who emerge later in salvation history to fulfill God's promises, such as Isaac, who was born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age (Genesis 21:2). This concept can also be applied to the eschatological hope found in the New Testament, where the fulfillment of God's promises may seem delayed but is assured in God's perfect timing (2 Peter 3:9). Theologically, the notion of being "late-born" can reflect the patience and sovereignty of God in bringing about His purposes, often beyond human expectations or timelines.
