Berean Strong's Lexicon sémeron: Today Original Word: σήμερον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word σήμερον (sēmeron), which is a combination of the words σή (sē, "this") and ἡμέρα (hēmera, "day"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יוֹם (yom, Strong's H3117), which means "day." Usage: The Greek adverb "sémeron" is used to denote the present day or the current time. It emphasizes the immediacy or the present nature of an event or action. In the New Testament, it often highlights the urgency or significance of a message or event occurring "today." Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "sémeron" reflects the Jewish and early Christian understanding of time as a gift from God, with each day holding its own significance and opportunity for obedience and faithfulness. The concept of "today" is often used to stress the importance of responding to God's call without delay, reflecting the immediacy of the Kingdom of God as preached by Jesus.
