of the hour-season
| Root | ὥρα (hṓra) |
| Core Meanings | hour, time, season, appointed time, decisive moment |
| Semantic Range | a literal hour of the day; a short span of time; a decisive moment; an appointed or divinely set time; a season characterized by a particular event |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὥρα often signifies more than clock time, pointing to divinely appointed moments (e.g., a revelatory or redemptive "hour"). It can mark climactic events in salvation history, especially in Johannine theology where the "hour" signals the fulfillment of Yeshua’s mission. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). The genitive case denotes possession, source, or relational description; feminine gender and singular number modify a single conceptual "hour" or "season." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of ὥρα as a specific time or appointed season, not merely a sixty-minute period. The genitive feminine singular form is reflected by the phrase "of the," indicating possession or relation, and "hour-season" maintains both the literal and figurative temporal nuance inherent in the root. |
