It is often used metaphorically to signify new beginnings, hope, and the dispelling of darkness. In the biblical context, "shachar" can also imply the act of seeking God early or earnestly, as the dawn represents a time of renewal and fresh starts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the dawn was a significant time of day, marking the transition from night to day. It was a time for prayer, reflection, and preparation for the day's activities. The dawn was often associated with divine intervention and revelation, as it symbolized the light overcoming darkness. In a pastoral society, the morning was also crucial for tending to livestock and beginning agricultural work.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be black<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>turns black (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">שָׁחַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be black</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">שָׁחוֺר</font> and derivatives, <em>black, blackness</em>, etc., Ecclus 25:17 Hiph`il <em>make black</em>;
