Strong's Lexicon tqoph: Cycle, Circuit, Season Original Word: תְּקֹף Word Origin: Derived from the root קוף (qoph), which implies a cycle or circuit. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tqoph," the concept of time and seasons can be related to Greek words such as "καιρός" (kairos - G2540), meaning an appointed time or season, and "χρόνος" (chronos - G5550), meaning time in general. Usage: The Hebrew word "תְּקוּפָה" (tqoph) refers to a cycle or a period of time, often used to denote a specific season or a complete circuit of time. It is used in the context of marking time, such as the completion of a year or a season. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of time was closely tied to agricultural cycles and religious festivals. The Israelites observed the lunar calendar, and the term "tqoph" would have been significant in marking the transitions between seasons, which were crucial for agricultural activities and religious observances. Understanding the cycles of time was essential for planning harvests and celebrating feasts, which were central to the community's spiritual and social life.
