Strong's Lexicon perusi: Last year Original Word: περυσι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "περυσινός" (perusinos), meaning "of last year" or "pertaining to last year." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "περυσι," the concept of marking time by years is present in the Hebrew Bible, often using terms like "שָׁנָה" (shanah, H8141) for "year." Usage: The adverb "περυσι" (perusi) is used to denote a time reference to the previous year. It is a temporal marker that situates an event or action in the past, specifically in the year preceding the current one. In the New Testament, it is used to provide context or background to a narrative or teaching. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was often measured in terms of significant events, such as the reign of an emperor or local festivals. The use of "περυσι" reflects a common way of marking time by referring to the previous year, which would have been easily understood by contemporary audiences. This method of timekeeping was practical in a society that relied heavily on oral tradition and communal memory.
