However, the idea of seasonal dwelling can be loosely related to Hebrew terms for dwelling or staying, such as יָשַׁב (yashab, "to sit, dwell").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb παραχειμάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of spending the winter in a particular location. It implies a temporary stay during the winter months, often due to adverse weather conditions that make travel difficult or dangerous. This term is typically used in the context of maritime travel, where ships would seek safe harbor to avoid the perilous winter seas.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, winter was a time when travel, especially by sea, was fraught with danger due to storms and rough seas. Ships would often seek a safe harbor to "winter" until conditions improved. This practice was common among traders, travelers, and military expeditions. The concept of wintering in a safe location reflects the broader ancient understanding of seasonal rhythms and the need for safety and provision during harsher months.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/5492.htm">cheimazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to winter at<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>spend the winter (3), wintered (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3914: παραχειμάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραχειμάζω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">παραχειμάσω</span>; 1 aorist infinitive <span class="greek2">παραχειμάσαι</span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">παρακεχειμακως</span>; <span class="accented">to winter, pass the winter, with one or at a place</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-12.htm">Acts 27:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/16-6.htm">1 Corinthians 16:6</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">νήσῳ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-11.htm">Acts 28:11</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐκεῖ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/titus/3-12.htm">Titus 3:12</a>.
