Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πρωΐ (prōï), meaning "early" or "morning."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of morning is בֹּקֶר (boqer), Strong's Hebrew 1242, which similarly denotes the morning or dawn, marking the start of a new day in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Usage: The word πρωΐα is used in the New Testament to denote the time of day when events occur in the morning. It is often associated with significant events in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
Context: The Greek term πρωΐα is used in the New Testament to describe the morning time, often highlighting the beginning of a new day or the timing of important events. In the Berean Standard Bible, πρωΐα appears in contexts that emphasize the early hours, often associated with the freshness and newness of the day.
For instance, in Matthew 21:18, "In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry." This passage underscores the time of day when Jesus experienced hunger, setting the stage for the subsequent events involving the fig tree. Similarly, in John 21:4, "Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus." Here, πρωΐα marks the time of Jesus' post-resurrection appearance to His disciples, highlighting the dawn of a new understanding and revelation.
The use of πρωΐα in the New Testament often signifies moments of revelation, transition, or divine encounter, aligning with the symbolic nature of morning as a time of new beginnings and hope. It is a term that captures both the literal and metaphorical significance of the morning in biblical narratives.
