A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2094 | Greek: etos |
Year:
is used
(a) to mark a point of time at or from which events take place, e.g., Luk 3:1 (dates were frequently reckoned from the time when a monarch began to reign); in Gal 3:17 the time of the giving of the Law is stated as 430 "years" after the covenant of promise given to Abraham; there is no real discrepancy between this and Exd 12:40; the Apostle is not concerned with the exact duration of the interval; it certainly was not less than 430 "years;" the point of the argument is that the period was very considerable; Gal 1:18; 2:1 mark events in Paul's life; as to the former the point is that three "years" elapsed before he saw any of the Apostles; in Gal 2:1 the 14 "years" may date either from his conversion or from his visit to Peter mentioned in Gal 1:18; the latter seems the more natural (for a full discussion of the subject see Notes on Galatians by Hogg and Vine, pp. 55 ff.);
(b) to mark a space of time, e.g., Mat 9:20; Luk 12:19; 13:11; Jhn 2:20; Act 7:6, where the 400 "years" mark not merely the time that Israel was in bondage in Egypt, but the time that they sojourned or were strangers there (the RV puts a comma after the word "evil"); the Genevan Version renders Gen 15:13 "thy posterity shall inhabit a strange land for 400 years;" Hbr 3:17; Rev 20:2-7;
(c) to date an event from one's birth, e.g., Mar 5:42; Luk 2:42; 3:23; Jhn 8:57; Act 4:22; 1Ti 5:9;
(d) to mark recurring events, Luk 2:41 (with kata, used distributively); Luk 13:7;
(e) of an unlimited number, Hbr 1:12.
