Strong's Greek Number 3722: ὄρθρος (orthros) • meaning "dawn" or "early morning."

These Greek terms similarly convey the concept of the first light of day, often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual awakening or enlightenment.

Usage: The word נֹגַהּ is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote the concept of dawn or the breaking of day. It is a poetic and symbolic term often associated with hope, renewal, and divine intervention.

Context: נֹגַהּ (nogah) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the light that breaks forth at dawn, symbolizing a new beginning or the arrival of divine revelation. In the context of biblical literature, dawn often represents a time of transition from darkness to light, both literally and metaphorically. This transition can signify the end of a period of trial or judgment and the beginning of a time of peace and understanding. The imagery of dawn is frequently employed in prophetic and apocalyptic literature to convey the hope of deliverance and the promise of God's intervention in human affairs.
