in the appointed hour-season
| Root | ὥρα (hōra) |
| Core Meanings | hour, time, appointed time, season, occasion |
| Semantic Range | a literal hour of the day; a specific moment; a decisive time; a season; an appointed or fitting occasion; a climactic or eschatological time |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, ὥρα often signifies more than clock-time; it marks divinely appointed moments, decisive turning points, or the fulfillment of God’s purposes, especially in Johannine literature where "the hour" signals the culmination of Messiah’s mission. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DFS = noun, dative feminine singular. The dative commonly expresses time when ("at/in the time") or sphere within which an action occurs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ὥρᾳ is dative feminine singular, indicating location or time within which something occurs. "In the appointed hour-season" preserves the core sense of a defined, fitting time while explicitly reflecting the dative case ("in") and the singular feminine form. |
