John 10:22


92

Greek #1096 Ἐγένετο means "to become" or "come into being"

Greek #1456 τὰ ἐνκαίνια is a definite article and a plural word that only appears once. The literal meaning of "ἐνκαίνια" (enkainia) can be understood as "the things made new" or "the fresh things." This is derived from breaking down the components of the word: "ἐν" (en) meaning "in," "into," or "within," "καινός" (kainos) meaning "new" or "fresh," and the suffix "-ια" (-ia) indicating a state or condition associated with the root word. So, when taken together, "ἐνκαίνια" (enkainia) referred to a festival or celebration associated with something new or fresh, such as the dedication of a temple or the beginning of a new era.

Greek #5494 χειμών. The term "χειμών" (cheimōn) in Greek refers to the season of winter. It can also be used to describe a storm or tempestuous weather, especially during the winter months.
