Strong's Lexicon machar: Tomorrow, in time to come, in the future Original Word: מָחָר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to delay Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G839 (aurion): Meaning "tomorrow," used in the New Testament to convey a similar sense of future time. Usage: The Hebrew word "machar" primarily denotes the concept of "tomorrow" or "the day after." It is used to indicate a future time, often in the context of planning or predicting future events. In the biblical narrative, "machar" can also imply a sense of urgency or expectation regarding what is to come. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, time was often viewed in relation to the present moment, with "machar" serving as a way to express anticipation or preparation for future events. The concept of "tomorrow" was significant in a society that relied heavily on agriculture and the cycles of nature, where planning for the future was essential for survival. The use of "machar" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of foresight and trust in God's provision for the days to come.
