Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the combination of παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "near") and χειμάζω (cheimázō, meaning "to winter" or "to pass the winter").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραχειμάζω, as the concept of wintering in a specific location is more contextually tied to the Greco-Roman world and its maritime practices. However, the Hebrew Bible does contain references to winter and seasonal changes, such as in Genesis 8:22, which speaks of the cycles of seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter. Usage: The term παραχειμάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of spending the winter in a particular location. It is often associated with travel and navigation, indicating a period of rest or pause due to seasonal conditions. Context: The Greek verb παραχειμάζω appears in the New Testament in contexts related to travel and maritime activities. It is used to describe the practice of staying in a specific location during the winter months, a time when travel, especially by sea, was often dangerous or impractical due to adverse weather conditions.
