Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a primary word meaning "hour" or "season." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ὥρα corresponds to several Hebrew terms that denote time or season, including: • Strong's Hebrew 6256 (עֵת, 'eth): Refers to time, season, or occasion. • Strong's Hebrew 3117 (יוֹם, yom): Often translated as "day," but can also imply a period or time. • Strong's Hebrew 4150 (מוֹעֵד, mo'ed): Denotes an appointed time or season, often used in the context of festivals or divine appointments. These Hebrew terms, like ὥρα, emphasize the significance of time in both daily life and divine purposes, highlighting the importance of discerning and aligning with God's timing. Usage: In the New Testament, ὥρα is used to indicate various concepts of time, including literal hours of the day, significant moments in Jesus' ministry, and metaphorical seasons or times of spiritual significance. Context: The Greek word ὥρα appears frequently in the New Testament, reflecting both its literal and metaphorical uses. In its literal sense, ὥρα is used to denote specific hours of the day, as seen in passages like John 4:6, "Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, being wearied from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour." Here, ὥρα refers to a specific time of day, indicating the hour when Jesus rested at the well. Metaphorically, ὥρα is used to signify a divinely appointed time or season, often in the context of God's redemptive plan. For instance, in John 12:23, Jesus declares, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified." In this context, ὥρα signifies the pivotal moment in Jesus' mission, pointing to His impending crucifixion and glorification. The term also appears in eschatological contexts, as in Matthew 24:36, where Jesus speaks of the unknown hour of His return: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Here, ὥρα underscores the unpredictability and divine timing of future events. Throughout the New Testament, ὥρα serves as a reminder of the temporal nature of human life and the importance of recognizing and responding to God's timing. It calls believers to be vigilant and prepared, as seen in passages like Mark 13:33, "Be on your guard and stay alert! For you do not know when the appointed time will come."
