Strong's Lexicon arti: Now, at this moment, just now Original Word: ἄρτι Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to fit" or "to join," indicating a sense of immediacy or present time. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "arti," the concept of immediacy or present time can be found in Hebrew words like עַתָּה (attah, Strong's H6258), which also means "now" or "at this time." Usage: The Greek adverb "ἄρτι" (arti) is used to denote the present moment or a very recent past. It emphasizes immediacy and is often translated as "now" or "at this moment" in English. It is used to convey a sense of urgency or current relevance in the context of the passage. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was often perceived in terms of immediate and practical concerns rather than abstract or linear concepts. The use of "arti" reflects this cultural understanding by focusing on the present moment's significance. In the New Testament, this term is used to highlight the immediacy of an action or event, often in the context of Jesus' teachings or the apostles' writings.
