Strong's Lexicon dusmé: Setting, west Original Word: δυσμή Word Origin: From the Greek verb δύω (duo), meaning "to go down" or "to set." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of the setting sun or west is מַעֲרָב (ma'arav), Strong's Hebrew 4628. Usage: The term "dusmé" primarily refers to the setting of the sun, and by extension, it is used to denote the west, the direction where the sun sets. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the end of a period or the conclusion of an event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the setting of the sun was a significant daily event, marking the transition from day to night. The west, as the direction of the sunset, held symbolic meanings of endings and conclusions. In the biblical context, the setting of the sun could also symbolize the end of an era or the completion of God's work.
