Strong's Lexicon deuteraios: Second day Original Word: δευτεραῖος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word δεύτερος (deuteros), meaning "second." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "deuteraios," the concept of counting days is present in Hebrew culture, as seen in terms like שֵׁנִי (sheni), meaning "second," which is used in the context of days and order. Usage: The term "deuteraios" is used to denote something that occurs on the second day. In the context of the New Testament, it is often used to describe events or actions that take place on the day following a significant event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish and early Christian context, days were often counted in relation to significant events, such as the Sabbath or festivals. The concept of counting days was important for religious observance and for marking time in a society that relied heavily on agricultural cycles and religious calendars. The use of "deuteraios" reflects this cultural practice of marking time in relation to key events.
