Strong's Lexicon nux: Night Original Word: νύξ Word Origin: A primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3915 - לַיְלָה (laylah): The Hebrew equivalent for "night," used throughout the Old Testament to denote the same period of darkness. Usage: The Greek word "νύξ" (nux) refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, commonly known as "night." In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes the physical time of darkness, while metaphorically, it can represent spiritual darkness, ignorance, or a time of trial and tribulation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, night was a time of rest and cessation from labor, but it was also associated with danger and uncertainty due to the lack of artificial lighting. In Jewish culture, the day began at sunset, making night the start of a new day. Nighttime was often used for prayer and reflection, as seen in various biblical accounts.
