It is used to denote a period that has been designated for a particular event or purpose. In the biblical context, it often implies a divinely ordained time, reflecting God's sovereign control over the unfolding of events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, time was perceived as cyclical, marked by agricultural seasons, religious festivals, and significant historical events. The concept of "zeman" underscores the belief that God orchestrates the times and seasons, as seen in the cyclical nature of the Jewish calendar, which includes appointed feasts and Sabbaths. This understanding of time as divinely appointed is central to the Jewish worldview and is reflected in the liturgical and agricultural rhythms of Israelite life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2163.htm">zaman</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>appointed time, time<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appointed time (1), definite time (1), time (1), times (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">זְמָ֑ן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> (late) <font size="+1"><b>appointed time, time</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb027310.gif">, Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb027311.gif"> Biblical Aramaic, <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">זְמַן</font>, but Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb027312.gif">, Mandean <font class="hebrew2">זיבנא</font>, Samaritan <img src="/bdbgif/bdb027313.gif">, Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">זבנא</font>, compare Reckend<sup>ZMG 1888, 394</sup> <font size="+1">**</font>Mandean <font class="hebrew2">זנאן</font>, see Nö<sup>M 152</sup>;
