Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek verb δύω (dýō), meaning "to go down" or "to set."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek "dysmē" corresponds to several Hebrew terms that denote the west or the setting of the sun, including: Usage: The word "dysmē" appears in the New Testament to denote the direction of the west or the act of the sun setting. It is used in a geographical and temporal sense. Context: The Greek word "dysmē" is primarily used in the New Testament to describe the west or the setting of the sun. This term is derived from the verb "dýō," which means "to go down" or "to set," indicating the movement of the sun as it descends below the horizon. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, the setting of the sun marked the end of the day and was significant for the Jewish reckoning of time, where a new day began at sunset.
