Strong's Lexicon

shanah: Year

Original Word: שָׁנָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: shanah
Pronunciation: shah-NAH
Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-neh')
Definition: Year
Meaning: a year

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁנָה (shanah), meaning "to repeat" or "to change."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2094 (ἔτος, etos) – Greek equivalent for "year."

Usage: The Hebrew word "shanah" primarily denotes a "year" in the context of time. It is used to measure the passage of time, often in terms of age, duration, or cycles. In the Hebrew calendar, a year is a significant unit for marking religious festivals, agricultural cycles, and historical events.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a year was closely tied to agricultural cycles and religious observances. The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, meaning it is based on both the moon and the sun. Key events such as the Sabbatical year (every seventh year) and the Year of Jubilee (every fiftieth year) were significant in Israelite society, emphasizing rest, renewal, and social justice. The year was also a marker for age, as seen in genealogies and narratives.
