Strong's Lexicon dunó: To set, to go down Original Word: δυνώ Word Origin: From the root δύω (dýō), meaning "to enter" or "to sink." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H935 (בּוֹא, bo): Often used in the Old Testament to describe the setting of the sun, as in Genesis 15:12. Usage: The verb "dunó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of the sun setting or going down. It conveys the idea of the sun sinking below the horizon, marking the transition from day to night. This term is often used metaphorically to indicate the end of a period or the closing of an era. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, the setting of the sun was a significant daily event, marking the end of the workday and the beginning of rest. The Jewish day began at sunset, so the setting of the sun was also the start of a new day. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical passages where the setting of the sun signifies the end of certain activities or the beginning of new ones.
