• G3703 (ὀπώρα, opōra): Refers to "late summer" or "autumn," indicating the time of fruit harvest, similar to the Hebrew קַיִץ.

The concept of קַיִץ in the Hebrew Bible underscores the cyclical nature of seasons and the importance of harvest as a time of both physical and spiritual significance. It serves as a reminder of the need for readiness and the consequences of neglecting one's duties.

Usage: The word קַיִץ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the time of harvest, particularly the summer harvest. It is often associated with the gathering of fruits and is used metaphorically to signify the end of a period or the culmination of events.

Context: • The term קַיִץ appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often symbolizing a time of fruition and completion. It is mentioned in passages that describe agricultural activities, reflecting the agrarian society of ancient Israel.
• In Amos 8:1-2, the prophet uses a vision of a basket of summer fruit (קַיִץ) to symbolize the imminent judgment on Israel, playing on the similarity between the words for "summer fruit" (קַיִץ) and "end" (קֵץ).
• Proverbs 10:5 contrasts the wise son who gathers in summer (קַיִץ) with the shameful son who sleeps during harvest, highlighting the importance of diligence and preparedness.
• Jeremiah 8:20 laments, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved," using קַיִץ to express a missed opportunity for deliverance.
• The term is also used in Isaiah 16:9 and Micah 7:1, where it conveys the idea of loss and desolation when the expected harvest is not realized.
