sure it is I will give you one example. The word wedding in out culture and especially in our times in nothing like the meaning of the word in biblical times. Bride, Bridegroom, Betrothed etc..... all have much different meanings in our time and culture than it did in the time of Jesus and the disciples in Galilee. One must know the culture and history to understand and the meaning and symbolism behind the Jewish wedding to have any idea what the Parable of the 10 virgins mean and what it meant for the bride to be ready at all times for her Bridegroom for he will come at an hour you do not expect and like a thief in the night. For the time of betrothal could last anywhere between 1-3 years unlike our modern engagement which is completely different along with all the symbolism. So this is just one example of many there are in Scripture to understand the meaning of biblical words from a historical and Hebrew/Greek source rather than a secular one.My apologies. I will remove the post. But you have to take a step back a moment and realize that rejecting regular dictionaries is not normal, my friend.
hope this helps !!!
