Strong's Lexicon chronos: Time Original Word: χρόνος Word Origin: Derived from a primary root word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6256 עֵת (eth): Often translated as "time," referring to a specific time or season. - H3117 יוֹם (yom): Commonly translated as "day," but can also refer to a period of time. Usage: Chronos refers to a measurable period or duration of time, often used to denote chronological or sequential time. It is distinct from the Greek word "kairos," which signifies an opportune or appointed time. In the New Testament, chronos is used to describe the passage of time, the duration of events, and the general concept of time as it unfolds. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was understood both in terms of chronos (sequential time) and kairos (opportune time). Chronos was often associated with the linear progression of events and was a concept familiar to both Jewish and Gentile audiences. The understanding of time in the biblical context also reflects the Jewish perspective of history as a linear progression towards God's ultimate plan. HELPS Word-studies 5550 xrónos – time (in general), especially viewed in sequence (a "succession of moments"); time in duration in the physical-space world, sovereignly apportioned by God to each person. 5550 /xrónos ("time in sequence, duration") especially expresses time quantitatively – in contrast to 2450 /Ioudaízō ("opportune time") which portrays time qualitatively ("time as opportunity").
