Strong's Lexicon prói: Early, early in the morning Original Word: πρωΐ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "πρωΐα" (prōïa), meaning "morning." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "בֹּקֶר" (boqer), Strong's Hebrew 1242, which also means "morning" or "dawn." Usage: The Greek adverb "prói" is used to denote the early part of the day, often referring to the time just after sunrise. It is typically used in the New Testament to describe events that occur early in the morning, emphasizing the beginning of a new day or the promptness of an action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman world, the day was often divided into segments, with the morning being a significant time for starting daily activities. The early morning was associated with freshness, new beginnings, and the opportunity to engage in work or worship. In Jewish culture, morning prayers and sacrifices were an integral part of religious life, and the early morning was a time for seeking God’s presence and guidance.
