| Root | ἡμέρα (hēmera) |
| Core Meanings | day, daylight, daytime period, 24-hour cycle, appointed time, era, decisive time |
| Semantic Range | The daylight period between dawn and dusk; a full 24-hour cycle; a specific calendar day; an appointed or decisive time; an era or age; a time characterized by a particular quality (e.g., day of judgment). |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἡμέρα often marks not only ordinary time but divinely appointed moments—such as "the day of the Lord"—signifying judgment, salvation, or fulfillment. It can frame redemptive history in terms of decisive, God-ordained periods. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative, feminine, singular. This form serves as the direct object or object of a preposition in a clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἡμέραν is accusative feminine singular, indicating a single "day" functioning as a direct object or as the object of a preposition. The rendering "a day" preserves the singular countable sense of the noun while allowing its contextual force (literal day or defined period) to be expressed in translation. |
