a span of time
| Root | χρόνος (chronos) |
| Core Meanings | time, span, interval, duration, period |
| Semantic Range | a measurable period, interval, duration, length of time, season of duration, delay, passage of years |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, χρόνος emphasizes measurable duration or the passage of time within God’s purposes, distinguishing ordinary temporal span from decisive appointed moments (καιρός) or vast ages (αἰών). It underscores lived duration within redemptive history. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS — noun, accusative case, masculine, singular; functioning typically as a direct object or as an accusative of extent/duration of time. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun χρόνος denotes a measurable span or interval of time, distinct from a fixed occasion (καιρός). The form χρόνον is accusative masculine singular, here rendered as the singular direct object "a span of time," preserving both its basic sense of duration and its grammatical number and case. |
