It can refer to physical beauty, but it also encompasses the broader concept of something being well-suited or perfect for its time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, beauty was often associated with harmony and appropriateness. The term ὡραῖος reflects this cultural value, emphasizing not just physical attractiveness but also the suitability and timeliness of an object or event. In the context of the New Testament, this term can be understood as highlighting the divine order and timing in God's creation and plan.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5611</b> <i>hōraíos</i> (from <a href="/greek/5610.htm">5610</a> <i>/hṓra</i>, "an hour, the time of fulfillment") – properly, a particular hour (a "season" of time); (figuratively) <i>beautiful</i> in <i>timing</i>, hence <i>fruitful</i> because fully developed (prepared, as in Ro 10:15).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5610.htm">hóra</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>seasonable, timely<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beautiful (4).<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 5611: ὡραῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὡραῖος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὡραία</span>, <span class="greek2">ὡραῖον</span> (from <span class="greek2">ὥρα</span>, 'the bloom and vigor of life,' 'beauty' in the Greek writings, who sometimes join the word in this sense with <span class="greek2">χάρις</span> (which suggests grace of movement) or <span class="greek2">κάλλος</span> (which denotes, rather, symmetry of form)), from <span class="abbreviation">Hesiod</span> down, <span class="accented">ripe, mature</span> (of fruits, of human age, etc.); hence, <span class="accented">blooming, beautiful</span> (of the human body, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others; with <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">ὄψει</span> added, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-7.htm">Genesis 26:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/29-17.htm">Genesis 29:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/39-6.htm">Genesis 39:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/1-6.htm">1 Kings 1:6</a>): <span class="greek2">πόδες</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/10-15.htm">Romans 10:15</a>; of a certain gate of the temple, <a href="/interlinear/acts/3-2.htm">Acts 3:2, 10</a>; (<span class="greek2">τάφοι</span> <span class="greek2">κεκονιάμενοι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27</a>); <span class="greek2">σκεῦος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/36-19.htm">2 Chronicles 36:19</a>.
