Strong's Lexicon atheq: Old, advanced, aged Original Word: עָתַק Word Origin: Derived from the root עָתַק (athaq), which means to advance, move forward, or become old. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "atheq," the concept of age and wisdom is similarly expressed in Greek through words like πρεσβύτερος (presbyteros), meaning elder or older, which is used in the New Testament to denote leaders in the church. Usage: The Hebrew word "atheq" is used to describe something that is old or advanced in age. It often conveys the idea of something that has endured over time, suggesting a sense of venerability or respect due to its age. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to people, objects, or concepts that have stood the test of time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, age was often associated with wisdom and experience. Elders were respected for their knowledge and were often sought for guidance and leadership. The concept of something being "old" was not merely about chronological age but also about the accumulation of experience and the honor that comes with it.
