It is used throughout the Old Testament to denote the literal time of night, as well as metaphorically to represent times of trouble, ignorance, or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the day was divided into two main parts: day (יוֹם, yom) and night (לֵילָה, lela). Nighttime was often associated with rest and rejuvenation, as well as danger and uncertainty due to the lack of light. The Israelites, like many ancient peoples, relied on the moon and stars for navigation and timekeeping during the night.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
