Strong's Lexicon orthrios: Early, at dawn, early in the morning Original Word: ὀρθρίος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὄρθρος (orthros), meaning "dawn" or "early morning." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of early morning is שַׁחַר (shachar), Strong's Hebrew #7837, which also means dawn or early morning. Usage: The term "orthrios" is used to describe actions or events that occur at the break of day or early in the morning. It conveys the idea of beginning something at the earliest part of the day, often associated with diligence, readiness, and the freshness of a new start. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the early morning was considered a time of new beginnings and was often associated with purity and renewal. The dawn was seen as a time when the world was quiet and still, providing an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and preparation for the day's activities. In the Jewish context, the morning was also significant for religious practices, including morning prayers and sacrifices. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for orthrinos, q.v.
