Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of change is μεταμόρφωσις (metamorphosis), Strong's Greek 3339, which refers to transformation or transfiguration, as seen in Romans 12:2 and the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17:2. Usage: The Hebrew word "shena" is used to denote a change or alteration. It often implies a transformation or a shift in state or condition. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to changes in circumstances, attitudes, or even divine interventions that alter the course of events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of change was significant, as it often related to the covenantal relationship between God and His people.
