Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), which means to grow dark or to become evening. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2073 • ἑσπέρα (hespera): Refers to evening or eventide. • G2250 • ἡμέρα (hemera): While primarily meaning "day," it can also refer to the time of day, including evening. • G3796 • ὄψιος (opsios): Specifically denotes late in the day or evening. • These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar concepts of time as "ereb" does in the Hebrew Bible, marking the transition from day to night and the associated activities or events. Usage: The word "ereb" is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to indicate the time of evening or dusk. It often marks the transition from day to night and is associated with various activities and rituals that occur at this time. Context: • The Hebrew word עֶרֶב (ereb) is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe the period of twilight or evening. It is a significant time marker in the Jewish day, which traditionally begins at sunset. This time of day is often associated with the completion of daily activities and the preparation for rest or evening meals. • In the context of religious observance, "ereb" is important for the timing of certain rituals and offerings. For example, the Passover lamb was to be slaughtered "at twilight" (Exodus 12:6, BSB), indicating the onset of evening. • The term is also used metaphorically in some passages to signify the end of a period or the approach of something new, as in the transition from one day to the next. • In the narrative of creation, "ereb" is part of the formula "And there was evening, and there was morning," marking the completion of each day (Genesis 1:5, BSB). • The concept of "ereb" is not only a physical description of time but also carries symbolic meanings, such as the idea of closure, rest, and the anticipation of a new beginning.
