Strong's Lexicon hóraios: Beautiful, timely, seasonable Original Word: ὡραῖος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὥρα (hṓra), meaning "hour" or "season." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὡραῖος, the concept of beauty and appropriateness can be found in Hebrew words like יָפֶה (yafeh, Strong's H3303) meaning "beautiful" or "fair," and נָאוֶה (na'veh, Strong's H4998) meaning "comely" or "befitting." Usage: The Greek adjective ὡραῖος (hóraios) primarily conveys the idea of something being beautiful or fitting, often in the sense of being timely or appropriate for a particular season or occasion. It can refer to physical beauty, but it also encompasses the broader concept of something being well-suited or perfect for its time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, beauty was often associated with harmony and appropriateness. The term ὡραῖος reflects this cultural value, emphasizing not just physical attractiveness but also the suitability and timeliness of an object or event. In the context of the New Testament, this term can be understood as highlighting the divine order and timing in God's creation and plan.
