Strong's Lexicon diaginomai: To pass through, to elapse, to intervene Original Word: διαγίνομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: diaginomai Pronunciation: dee-ag-IN-oh-my Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ag-in'-om-ahee) Definition: I pass (of time); I continue through, intervene. Meaning: The verb διαγίνομαι generally means "to pass through," "to elapse," or "to continue." It can refer to the passage of time or the continuation of an event or state. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia), meaning "through" or "across," and γίνομαι (ginomai), meaning "to become" or "to come into being." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαγίνομαι, the concept of time passing or events continuing can be found in various Hebrew terms related to time and duration, such as עָבַר (abar, Strong's 5674), meaning "to pass over" or "to pass through," and יָמִים (yamim, Strong's 3117), meaning "days" or "time." These terms similarly convey the passage or continuation of time within the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to describe the passage of time or the continuation of a particular state or event. It is not frequently used, appearing in contexts where the duration or continuation of time is emphasized. Context: The Greek verb διαγίνομαι appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of time passing or events continuing. It is a compound word, combining διά, which often implies movement or transition, with γίνομαι, which suggests becoming or occurring. This combination underscores the notion of something persisting or enduring over a period. In the Berean Standard Bible, διαγίνομαι is used in contexts that highlight the progression or duration of time. For example, in Acts 25:13, it is used to describe the passage of several days: "After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus." Here, the term emphasizes the elapsed time before the arrival of King Agrippa and Bernice. The use of διαγίνομαι in the New Testament is relatively rare, which suggests that its application is specific and purposeful, often to draw attention to the unfolding of events over time. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative, where the passage of time is frequently significant in the unfolding of God's plan and the fulfillment of His promises.
