It conveys the idea of the first light of day, a time often associated with new beginnings, preparation, and anticipation. In the context of the New Testament, it can denote the time of day when certain events or actions take place, emphasizing the freshness and newness of the morning.<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, work, and important activities. The dawn was seen as a time of renewal and hope, marking the transition from night to day. In the Jewish tradition, morning prayers were an essential part of daily worship, and the early morning was often a time for seeking God’s presence and guidance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3722.htm">orthros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>early<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>early in the morning (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 3720: ὀρθρινός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὀρθρινός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀρθρινή</span> <span class="greek2">ὀρθρινον</span> (from <span class="greek2">ὄρθρος</span>; cf. <span class="greek2">ἡμερινός</span>, <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἑσπερινός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀπωρινός</span>, <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πρωϊνός</span></span> a poetic (<span class="abbreviation">Anth.</span>) and later form for <span class="greek2">ὄρθριος</span> (see <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 51; Sturz, De dial.
