Strong's Lexicon tetraménos: Four months Original Word: τετράμηνος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "τέσσαρες" (tessares), meaning "four," and "μήν" (mēn), meaning "month." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "tetraménos," the concept of harvest and agricultural cycles is prevalent in the Old Testament, with terms like קָצִיר (qatsir, Strong's H7105) for "harvest." Usage: The term "tetraménos" is used to denote a period of four months. In the New Testament, it is specifically used in the context of agricultural cycles, referring to the time between sowing and harvest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, such as those in the biblical lands, understanding the agricultural calendar was crucial. The period of four months was significant as it marked the time from planting to harvest. This understanding was not only practical for farming but also carried symbolic meanings in Jewish culture, often representing a time of waiting and anticipation for the fruits of one's labor.
