G2250
ἡμέρα
hemera
hay-mer'-ah
Noun Feminine
feminine (with G5610 implied) of a derivative of hemai (to sit; akin to the base of G1476) meaning tame, i.e. gentle; day, i.e. (literally) the time space between dawn and dark, or the whole 24 hours (but several days were usually reckoned by the Jews as inclusive of the parts of both extremes); figuratively, a period (always defined more or less clearly by the context):--age, + alway, (mid-)day (by day, (-ly)), + for ever, judgment, (day) time, while, years.
- the day, used of the natural day, or the interval between sunrise and sunset, as distinguished from and contrasted with the night
- in the daytime
- metaph., "the day" is regarded as the time for abstaining from indulgence, vice, crime, because acts of the sort are perpetrated at night and in darkness
- of the civil day, or the space of twenty four hours (thus including the night)
- Eastern usage of this term differs from our western usage. Any part of a day is counted as a whole day, hence the expression "three days and three nights" does not mean literally three whole days, but at least one whole day plus part of two other days.
- of the last day of this present age, the day Christ will return from heaven, raise the dead, hold the final judgment, and perfect his kingdom
- used of time in general, i.e. the days of his life.
