Berean Strong's Lexicon lela: Night Original Word: לֵילָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to fold back or to cover, suggesting the covering of the earth by darkness. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3571 νύξ (nux) – night Usage: The Hebrew word "lela" refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, commonly understood as "night." It is used throughout the Old Testament to denote the literal time of night, as well as metaphorically to represent times of trouble, ignorance, or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the day was divided into two main parts: day (יוֹם, yom) and night (לֵילָה, lela). Nighttime was often associated with rest and rejuvenation, as well as danger and uncertainty due to the lack of light. The Israelites, like many ancient peoples, relied on the moon and stars for navigation and timekeeping during the night.
