STRONGS NT 1024: βραχύς

βραχύς, βραχεια, βραχύ, short, small, little (from Pindar, Herodotus, Thucydides down);

a. of place; neuter βραχύ adverbially, a short distance, a little: Acts 27:28 (2 Samuel 16:1; Thucydides 1, 63).

b. of time; βραχύ τί a short time, for a little while: Hebrews 2:7, 9, (where the writer transfers to time what the Sept. in Psalm 8:6 says of rank); Acts 5:34 (here L T Tr WH omit τί); μετά βραχύ shortly after, Luke 22:58.

c. of quantity and measure; βραχύ τί (Tr text WH omits; L Tr marginal reading brackets τί) some little part, a little: John 6:7 (βραχύ τί τοῦ μέλιτος, 1 Samuel 14:29; ἔλαιον βραχύ, Josephus, Antiquities 9, 4, 2; βραχυτατος λιβανωτός, Philo de vict. off. § 4); διά βραχέων in few namely, words, briefly, Hebrews 13:22 (so (Plato, Demosthenes, others (cf. Bleek on Hebrews, the passage cited)) Josephus, b. j. 4, 5, 4; ἐν βραχυτάτω δηλουν to show very briefly, Xenophon, Cyril 1, 2, 15).
