However, Greek terms related to time, such as "χθές" (chthes, G5504), meaning "yesterday," may serve a similar function in context.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "emesh" is used to denote the time period of the previous night or the day before the current day. It is a temporal marker that situates events in the immediate past, often used in narrative contexts to provide a timeframe for actions or events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time was often marked by natural phenomena such as the setting and rising of the sun. The day was typically divided into evening and morning, with the evening marking the beginning of a new day. "Emesh" reflects this understanding by referring to the time that has just passed, emphasizing the cyclical nature of time in Hebrew thought.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>yesterday<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>last night (3), night (1), yesterday (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">אֶ֫מֶשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adverb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>yesterday</b></font> (etymology dubious; MV after Fl De on <a href="/interlinear/job/30-3.htm">Job 30:3</a> compare Sta<sup>§ 256 c</sup> derive from √ <font class="hebrew2">משׁה</font> = Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005701.gif">, whence <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005702.gif">, <em>evening</em>; see also in Thes, & compare Assyrian <i><em>mušu</em></i>, <em>night</em> COT<sup>Gloss</sup>, Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005703.gif"> but also Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005704.gif"> = Assyrian <i><em>amšatu</em></i>, <em>yesterday</em>) = <em>last night</em> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/19-34.htm">Genesis 19:34</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/31-29.htm">Genesis 31:29</a>,42 (<font class="hebrew2">אָ֑מֶשׁ</font>); = recently <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/9-26.htm">2 Kings 9:26</a>. — <a href="/interlinear/job/30-3.htm">Job 30:3</a> <font class="hebrew2">שׁוֺאָה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> is difficult & uncertain Thes MV and others <em>darkness, gloom</em> of wasteness, so RV, but dubious, compare Di; G.
