Strong's Lexicon hóra: Hour, time, season Original Word: ὥρα Word Origin: Derived from the same as ὥρα (hōra), meaning "hour" or "time." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6256 (עֵת, 'et): Time, season - H4150 (מוֹעֵד, mo'ed): Appointed time, season, festival Usage: In the New Testament, ὥρα (hóra) primarily refers to a specific time or hour of the day. It can denote a literal hour, a period of time, or a significant moment. The term is often used to indicate the timing of events, both ordinary and eschatological. It can also imply a divinely appointed time or season, reflecting God's sovereign control over history. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was often measured by the sundial or water clock, dividing daylight into twelve hours. The concept of "hour" was more fluid than the modern 60-minute period, varying with the length of daylight. In Jewish culture, the day was divided into watches and hours, with significant religious and social activities tied to specific times, such as prayer and sacrifice.
