Strong's Lexicon hénika: When, at the time when Original Word: ἡνίκα Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hénika Pronunciation: HAY-nee-kah Phonetic Spelling: (hay-nee'-kah) Definition: When, at the time when Meaning: when, whenever, at which time. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἡνίκα, which is a compound of ἡ (he) meaning "the" and νίκα (nika), a form of νῦν (nun) meaning "now" or "when." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is כַּאֲשֶׁר (ka'asher), which also means "when" or "as." Usage: The Greek word ἡνίκα (hénika) is used as a conjunction to denote a specific point in time, often translated as "when" or "at the time when." It is used to introduce temporal clauses, indicating the timing of an event in relation to another. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, understanding the timing of events was crucial for the early Christian communities. The use of temporal conjunctions like ἡνίκα helped convey the sequence and timing of events, which was important for both historical narrative and theological teaching. The Greek language, with its precise vocabulary for time, allowed the biblical authors to communicate complex ideas about God's intervention in history and the fulfillment of prophecy.
