It is used to denote the passage of time in a comprehensive sense, encompassing both the daylight and nighttime hours.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, time was often measured by the natural cycles of day and night. The Jewish understanding of a day began at sunset, following the creation account in Genesis where "there was evening and there was morning." The Greeks and Romans also recognized the division of time into day and night, though their methods of timekeeping varied. The use of "nuchthémeron" reflects this holistic view of time as a complete cycle.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3571.htm">nux</a> and <a href="/greek/2250.htm">hémera</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>lasting a night and a day<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>a night and a day (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3574: νυχθήμερον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">νυχθήμερον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">νυχθημερου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">νύξ</span> and <span class="greek2">ἡμέρα</span>), <span class="accented">a night and a day,</span> the space of twenty-four hours: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a>.
