Strong's Lexicon orthrizó: To rise early, to be up at dawn Original Word: ὀρθρίζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὄρθρος (orthros), meaning "dawn" or "early morning." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of rising early is שָׁכַם (shakam), Strong's Hebrew #7925, which also means to rise early or to start early in the morning. Usage: The verb ὀρθρίζω is used to describe the action of rising early in the morning, often with a sense of eagerness or anticipation. In the New Testament, it conveys the idea of starting one's day with purpose, often in the context of seeking God or engaging in prayer. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, rising early was associated with diligence and devotion. The early morning was considered a sacred time for prayer and reflection, as it was quiet and undisturbed. This practice was common among devout individuals who sought to dedicate the first part of their day to God.
