Strong's Lexicon ennuchos: By night, nocturnal Original Word: ἐννύχῳ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "νύξ" (nyx, meaning "night"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with nighttime activities is לַיְלָה (laylah, Strong's H3915), which similarly denotes night or nighttime. Usage: The term "ennuchos" is used to describe actions or events that occur during the night. It emphasizes the time frame of night, often highlighting the secrecy, quietness, or solemnity associated with nighttime activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the night was often associated with rest, mystery, and sometimes danger. Many activities, especially those requiring discretion or secrecy, were conducted at night. In the biblical context, nighttime could symbolize both physical and spiritual darkness, but it was also a time for prayer and divine encounters, as seen in various biblical narratives.
