Strong's Lexicon epiduó: To set, to go down Original Word: ἐπιδύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb δύω (duó, meaning "to go down" or "to set"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the setting of the sun is בּוֹא (bo, Strong's Hebrew 935), which means "to go in" or "to come," and is used in contexts such as the sun going down. Usage: The verb "epiduó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of the sun setting. It conveys the idea of something coming to an end or transitioning from one state to another, such as the transition from day to night. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the setting of the sun marked the end of the day and the beginning of a new period, often associated with rest and reflection. The daily cycle of the sun was a significant aspect of life, influencing work, worship, and social activities. In Jewish culture, the setting of the sun also marked the beginning of a new day, as days were reckoned from evening to evening.
