Strong's Lexicon shacharuth: Dawn, morning light Original Word: שַׁחֲרוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַר (shachar), meaning "to seek early" or "to be black." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G827: αὐγή (auge) - meaning "dawn" or "brightness." - G3722: ὀρθρινός (orthrinos) - meaning "early" or "at dawn." Usage: The term "shacharuth" refers to the early part of the day, specifically the dawn or morning light. It is often used metaphorically to signify new beginnings, hope, and the promise of a new day. In the Hebrew Bible, dawn is frequently associated with divine intervention, renewal, and the dispelling of darkness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the dawn held significant cultural and religious importance. It marked the beginning of a new day and was often a time for prayer and reflection. The transition from night to day symbolized the triumph of light over darkness, a theme prevalent in many biblical narratives. The dawn was also a practical time for starting daily activities, as the cooler morning hours were ideal for labor and travel.
