It conveys the idea of beginning something at the earliest part of the day, often associated with diligence, readiness, and the freshness of a new start.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the early morning was considered a time of new beginnings and was often associated with purity and renewal. The dawn was seen as a time when the world was quiet and still, providing an opportunity for reflection, prayer, and preparation for the day's activities. In the Jewish context, the morning was also significant for religious practices, including morning prayers and sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/3720.htm">orthrinos</a>, q.v.<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 3721: ὄρθριος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὄρθριος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀρθρια</span>, <span class="greek2">ὀρθριον</span> (from <span class="greek2">ὄρθρος</span>, which see; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ὄψιος</span></span> <span class="greek2">πρώιος</span>), <span class="accented">early; rising at the first dawn or very early in the morning</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-22.htm">Luke 24:22</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> (<a href="/interlinear/job/29-7.htm">Job 29:7</a>; 3Macc. 5:10, 23).
