to be hungry, πεινάων, of a lion, Il. 3.25; λέοντε.. ἄμφω πεινάοντε 16.758; λέοντα.. μέγα πεινάοντα 18.162; κακῶς π. to be starved, Hdt. 2.13, 14; π. βάδην Ar. Ach. 535; thrice in Trag., πεινῶσα S.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

πεινάω, πείνω, infinitive πεινᾶν (Philippians 4:12); future πεινάσω (Luke 6:25; Revelation 7:16); 1 aorist ἐπείνασα — for the earlier forms πεινην, πεινήσω, ἐπείνησα; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., pp. 61 and 204; Winers Grammar, § 13, 3 b.; (Buttmann, 37 (32); 44 (38)); see also διψάω; (from πεινᾷ hunger; (see πένης)); from Homer down; the Sept. for רָעֵב; to hunger, be hungry;

a. properly: Matthew 4:2; Matthew 12:1, 3; Matthew 21:18; Matthew 25:35, 37, 42, 44; Mark 2:25; Mark 11:12; Luke 4:2; Luke 6:3, 25; equivalent to to suffer want, Romans 12:20; 1 Corinthians 11:21, 34; to be needy, Luke 1:53; Luke 6:21; Philippians 4:12; in this same sense it is joined with δίψαν, 1 Corinthians 4:11; in figurative discourse, οὐ πεινᾶν καί οὐ δίψαν is used to describe the condition of one who is in need of nothing requisite for his real (spiritual) life and salvation, John 6:35; Revelation 7:16.

b. metaphorically, to crave ardently, to seek with eager desire: with the accusative of the thing, τήν δικαιοσύνην, Matthew 5:6 (in the better Greek authors with a genitive as χρημάτων, Xenophon, Cyril 8, 3, 39; συμμαχων, 7, 5, 50; ἐπαινου, oec. 13, 9; cf. Winers Grammar, § 30, 10, b. at the end; (Buttmann, § 131, 4); Kuinoel on Matthew 5:6, and see διψάω, 2).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For πῆχυς in its original meaning of ";forearm,"; cf. P Amh II. 102.9 (A.D. 180) οὐλὴ π [ή ]χι δεξιῷ, ";a scar on the right forearm."; As a measure of length, a ";cubit,"; about one and a half feet (cf. Hultsch, Archiv iii. p. 438 ff.), the word hardly needs illustration, but we may cite one or two exx. of the contr. πηχῶν (for πηχέων) as in John 21:8, Revelation 21:17—P Petr II. 41.2 f. (iii/B.C.) πηχῶν ι ̄θ ̄ πλάτος πηχῶν ι ̄η ̄ εἴσοδος, P Par 14.14 (B.C. 127) πηχῶν δέκα ἕξ, and P Lond 154.9 (A.D. 68) (= II. p. 179) ἔξοδος κοινὴ πλα ̣τ ̣ο ̣υς πηχῶ [ν ] τ [ριῶ ]ν : other exx. in Mayser Gr. i. p. 267. and for the LXX usage see Thackeray Gr. i. p. 151. On the possibility that πῆχυς may refer to extension of time in Matthew 6:27 (Luke 12:25) see s.v. ἡλικία. A subst. πηχισμός, which LS describe as ";Eccl.,"; is not uncommon in connexion with measurements, as of the ground-space occupied by a house in P Strass I. 9.8 (c. A.D. 307 or 352) μέτροις ] καὶ πηχισμ ̣οῖς καὶ θεμελίοις καὶ τίχεσιν. MGr πῆχυ, ";cubit"; : see Thumb Handbook, p. 57.
