It is used to describe the period of early morning when light begins to appear, often associated with the time for prayer or significant events in biblical narratives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, the early morning was a significant time for prayer, reflection, and beginning daily activities. The concept of rising early to seek God is a recurring theme in biblical literature, emphasizing diligence, devotion, and the pursuit of righteousness. The early morning was also a time when important events or divine encounters were believed to occur, symbolizing new beginnings and the light of God's presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>daybreak, dawn<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>daybreak (1), early in the morning (1), early dawn (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 3722: ὄρθρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὄρθρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὄρθρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ὈΡΩ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὄρνυμι</span> to stir up, rouse; cf.
