Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thyinos," the concept of valuable and aromatic wood can be related to certain Hebrew terms used in the Old Testament to describe precious materials. For example:

- Strong's Hebrew 6086 (עֵץ, 'ets): Often translated as "wood" or "tree," this term is used in various contexts, including the construction of the tabernacle and temple, where valuable woods were employed.

- Strong's Hebrew 3828 (לְבוֹנָה, levonah): Meaning "frankincense," this term refers to a fragrant resin used in offerings, highlighting the importance of aroma in worship and trade.

These entries reflect the broader biblical theme of using valuable and aromatic materials in both sacred and secular contexts.

Usage: The word "thyinos" is used in the New Testament to describe luxurious and valuable items, specifically in the context of trade and commerce.

Context: The Greek term "θυΐνος" (thyinos) appears in the New Testament in the Book of Revelation, specifically in Revelation 18:12. This passage is part of a larger section describing the lament over the fall of Babylon, a symbol of opulence and worldly wealth. The verse lists various goods that were traded, highlighting the wealth and luxury that characterized Babylon. Among these goods is "thyine wood," noted for its aromatic and valuable nature.

Revelation 18:12 (BSB) states: "cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; all kinds of citron wood, all kinds of ivory articles, all kinds of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble."

In this context, "thyine wood" is grouped with other luxurious materials, emphasizing its status as a symbol of wealth and extravagance. The wood was likely prized for its fragrance and beauty, making it a desirable commodity in ancient trade.

The use of "thyinos" in Revelation underscores the theme of materialism and the transient nature of earthly riches. The fall of Babylon serves as a warning against placing trust in material wealth, which is ultimately fleeting and subject to divine judgment.
