the appointed hour
| Root | ὥρα (hōra) |
| Core Meanings | hour, fixed time, appointed moment, season, decisive time-point |
| Semantic Range | a sixty-minute hour; a particular moment; a decisive or climactic time; a season; a divinely appointed time; an immediate or critical juncture. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὥρα often signifies more than clock-time; it can denote a divinely appointed moment in redemptive history (e.g., a decisive turning point in Messiah’s mission). It marks moments of fulfillment, testing, revelation, or judgment—underscoring the sovereignty of God over times and seasons. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative, feminine, singular; functioning typically as a direct object or as a temporal accusative indicating a specific time. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ὥραν is the accusative feminine singular form of ὥρα, denoting a specific, defined point of time. Rendering it as "the appointed hour" preserves the sense of a fixed or significant time-point inherent in the root, while the singular form reflects the single, particular time indicated by the accusative object function in context. |
