Strong's Lexicon yom: Day Original Word: יוֹם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be hot, as the warm hours of the day. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2250 (ἡμέρα, hēmera): The Greek equivalent for "day," used in the New Testament to denote a 24-hour period or the daylight portion of a day. Usage: The Hebrew word "yom" primarily denotes a 24-hour period, encompassing both day and night. It can also refer to the daylight hours, a specific point in time, or an era. In the context of the creation narrative in Genesis, "yom" is used to describe each of the six days of creation, which has been a point of discussion regarding the length and nature of these "days." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, a day was reckoned from evening to evening, beginning at sunset. This understanding is rooted in the creation account in Genesis, where "there was evening, and there was morning—the first day" (Genesis 1:5, BSB). The concept of "yom" was central to the Hebrew calendar, which was lunar-based, and it played a significant role in religious observances, such as the Sabbath and festivals.
