- ἐνιαυτός
- ἐνιαυτός, οῦ, ὁ (Hom.+; ins, pap, LXX, En; TestJud, EpArist, Philo; Jos., Ant. 15, 378, C. Ap. 1, 157; Just., A I, 57, 2; Theoph. Ant. I, 4 [p. 64, 19])① a period of one year, year Rv 9:15; ἐ. καὶ μῆνας ἕξ a year and a half Ac 18:11; cp. Js 5:17 (GKittel, Rabbinica 1920, 31–35). ἀρχιερεὺς τοῦ ἐ. ἐκείνου high priest for that year J 11:49, 51; 18:13 (s. UHolzmeister, ZKT 44, 1920, 306–12.—The supposition that there was a different high priest every year holds good for Asia Minor [IBM III, 498; s. CBrandis, Pauly-W. II 475] and for Syria [Lucian, Syr. D. 42], but not for Jerusalem). ποιεῖν ἐ. spend a year Js 4:13 (cp. Pr 13:23; TestJud 10:4). πρῶτος ἐ. first year of one’s life GJs 6:2.—In acc. in answer to the question ‘how long?’ (Thu. et al.): ὅλον ἐ. for a whole year Ac 11:26; Hs 6, 4, 4; ὅλον τὸν ἐ. the whole year through Hs 6, 5, 4; ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐ. once a year Hb 9:7 (Ex 30:10; Lev 16:34; cp. Philo, Leg. ad Gai. 306). μέχρι ἐνιαυτοῦ for as long as a year Hs 6, 5, 3. κατʼ ἐνιαυτόν every year, annually (Thu. 1, 93, 3 al.; oft. ins; UPZ 122, 6 [157 B.C.] of an annual pilgrimage; LXX; EpArist 180) Hb 9:25; 10:1, 3; B 10:6. Also παρʼ ἐνιαυτόν B 10:7 (Diod S 4, 65, 1; SIG 193, 14 [IV B.C.] παρὰ τὸν ἐ. ἕκαστον).② more gener. a period of time other than a calendar year, year (Aristoph., Ran. 347; Pla., Leg. 10, 906c; Diod S 38 + 39 Fgm. 5: God has ordained eight ages; each one is an ἐνιαυτὸς μέγας; Jos., Ant. 1, 106 ὁ μέγας ἐνιαυτός consists of 600 years), of the age of salvation brought by the Messiah ἐ. κυρίου δεκτός Lk 4:19; B 14:9 (both Is 61:2.—Cp. also Phlegon: 257 Fgm. 1, 9 Jac., where Pythia announces the coming of a rather long period of time as φιλόφρων ἐνιαυτός).③ The mng. of ἐ. in the combination καιροὶ καὶ ἐνιαυτοί Gal 4:10 is not certain. It could be an allusion to the so-called ‘sabbatical years’ (Lev 25), but it may also signify certain days of the year (SIG2 438, 162 [c. 400 B.C.]), such as the New Year festival.
