Strong's Lexicon shenah: Sleep Original Word: שְׁנָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: shnah Pronunciation: shay-naw' Phonetic Spelling: (shen-aw') Definition: a year Meaning: A year; a period of twelve months. Word Origin: Corresponds to the Hebrew שָׁנָה (shānāh), meaning "year." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2094 (ἔτος, etos): The Greek equivalent for "year," used in the New Testament to denote a similar concept of a twelve-month period. Usage: The term שְׁנָה is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a year. It appears in contexts involving the passage of time, historical records, and prophetic timelines. Context: The Aramaic word שְׁנָה (shĕnah) is primarily found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In these contexts, שְׁנָה is used to mark the duration of events, reigns of kings, and prophetic periods. For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the length of time for certain visions and prophecies, as well as the reigns of various rulers. In Ezra, it is used in the context of historical records, marking the years of decrees and events related to the return of the exiles and the rebuilding of the temple. The concept of a year in the biblical context is significant for understanding the chronology of events and the fulfillment of prophecies. The use of שְׁנָה in Aramaic texts highlights the integration of Hebrew and Aramaic cultures and languages during the periods of exile and return. The term is consistent with the Hebrew understanding of a year as a cyclical period marked by agricultural and religious observances.
