Strong's Lexicon exapina: Suddenly Original Word: ἐξαίφνης Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: exapina Pronunciation: ex-a-IF-nace Phonetic Spelling: (ex-ap'-ee-nah) Definition: Suddenly Meaning: suddenly, unexpectedly. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and "αἰφνίδιος" (aiphnidios, meaning "sudden"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "exaiphnēs," the concept of suddenness can be found in Hebrew words like "פִּתְאֹם" (pit'om, Strong's H6597), which also means "suddenly." Usage: The adverb "exaiphnēs" is used to describe an action or event that occurs unexpectedly or without warning. It conveys the sense of something happening abruptly or instantaneously. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, sudden events were often seen as significant, sometimes indicating divine intervention or the unfolding of fate. The concept of suddenness could evoke both awe and fear, as it often implied a change in circumstances that was beyond human control. In the biblical context, sudden events are frequently associated with God's direct action or revelation.
