    DefinitionShort: an indefinite unit of time (whether grammatically singular or plural), but not particularly long (note the contrast with {L:αἰών}[a] ‘age,’ {D:67.143}, and {L:γενεά}[d] ‘age,’ {D:67.144})
    Glosses: ['time', 'period']
    Comments: In a number of languages there is no specific term such as ‘period’ referring to an indefinite extent of time. One can, however, render {S:04200102300012} as ‘when he no longer had to serve in the Temple’ or ‘when he had finished the days when he served in the Temple.’

    Comments: In order to focus attention upon the beginning of daylight, one may translate {S:04200404200006} as ‘when the sun began to shine’ or ‘when the sky began to become light’ or even ‘when it was no longer night.’|In some languages there is no noun for either ‘day’ or ‘daylight,’ but a verb expression may be employed which may be rendered literally as ‘to day’ or ‘to become day.’

    Comments: The reference of the phrase ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς in {S:05900500500024} is the destructive judgment of God, but it is possible that σφαγῆς should be interpreted in a more literal sense of ‘destruction’ rather than mere condemnation.

    Comments: Most translations render ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα as either ‘forty days and forty nights’ or ‘forty days,’ though it is possible, in view of the symbolic meaning of the number ‘forty,’ that this expression is to be understood as meaning a long period of time.
