| 275 | Times Strong’s #2320, ha-chodesh. The New One with definite article. Interpreted as “new moon”. Chodesh is from the root chadash meaning to renew or repair (#2318). It is a masculine noun. “now shall the new one [chodesh] eat them with their fields.” Hosea 5:7. There are two additional words for moon, one masculine and one feminine. See note on Genesis 37:9. The year is a mystery all its own. Year is from the word shanah meaning to repeat, do again (#8138) and according to Strong has a concrete primitive definition: to fold, i.e. duplicate. To the Hebrew Scriptures the year progresses from the start to the start. Peter likely played on this provocative riddle, This one however let not be hidden from you, beloved, that one hot-one close beside Master is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as hot-one one. 2 Peter 3:8 literal Paul in 1 Corinthians wrote mia hemera, one hot-one, but Peter here wrote the opposite hemera mia, hot-one one. |
