Strong's Lexicon prosabbaton: The day before the Sabbath Original Word: προσάββατον Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "προ-" (pro-, meaning "before") and "σάββατον" (sabbaton, meaning "Sabbath"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for "Sabbath" is שַׁבָּת (shabbat, Strong's Hebrew 7676), which refers to the seventh day of the week, a day of rest. Usage: The term "prosabbaton" refers specifically to the day preceding the Sabbath, which in Jewish tradition is Friday. This day was significant in Jewish culture as it was a time of preparation for the Sabbath, a day of rest and worship. In the New Testament context, it is used to denote the day before the Sabbath, particularly in relation to the events surrounding the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish tradition, the Sabbath (Saturday) is a day of rest, as commanded in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). The day before the Sabbath, Friday, was known as the "Preparation Day" (Mark 15:42), when Jews would prepare meals and complete any work to avoid labor on the Sabbath. This cultural practice is reflected in the New Testament, where the timing of events is often marked in relation to the Sabbath.
