English (Thayer)

ὥρας, ἡ, from Homer down, the Sept. for עֵת and in Daniel for שָׁעָה;
1. a certain definite time or season fixed by natural law and returning with the revolving year; of the seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn, winter, as ὥρα τοῦ θέρους, πρώϊμος καί ὄψιμος, χειμερια, etc.; often in the Greek writings (cf. Liddell and Scott, under A. I:1c., and on the inherent force of the word especially Schmidt, chapter 44 § 6f).
2. the daytime (bounded by the rising and the setting of the sun), a day: ὥρα παρῆλθεν, ἤδη ὥρας πολλῆς γενομένης (or γινομένης) (A. V. when the day was now far spent), πολύς, c. (but note that in the example from Polybius there cited πολλῆς ὥρας means early)); ὀψίας (ὀψέ T Tr marginal reading WH text) ἤδη οὔσης τῆς ὥρας (WH marginal reading brackets τῆς ὥρας), ὀψέ τῆς ὥρας, Polybius 3,83, 7; τῆς ὥρας ἐγιγνετο ὀψέ, Demosthenes, p. 541,28).

DD., under the word Hour; Riehm's HWB, under the word Uhr)): τῆς ἡμέρας added, τῆς νυκτός added, ὥρα, in stating the time when (Winer s Grammar, § 31,9; Buttmann, § 133,26): ἐν, Winer s Grammar, § 32,6; Buttmann, § 131,11): Winer s Grammar, and Buttmann's Grammar, at the passages cited): ποιέω, I:1a. at the end); ἀπό, ἕως, μέχρι, περί with the accusative a very short time: μία ὥρα, ἐν, WH marginal reading accusative), 17 (16), 19; πρός ὥραν (A. V. for a season), A. V. for an hour); πρός καιρόν ὥρας (for a short season), any definite time, point of time, moment: the fit or opportune time for one, ἡ ἄρτι ὥρα (A. V. this present hour), ἐσχάτῃ ὥρα, the last hour i. e. the end of this age and very near the return of Christ from heaven (see ἔσχατος, 1, p. 253 b), αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρα, that very hour, A. V. (not R. V.) that instant); ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρα, in that very hour, R G L text); ἐν τῇ ὥρα ἐκείνῃ, ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρα, L marginal reading T Tr WH); ἀπ' ἐκείνης τῆς ὥρας, ἀπό τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης, ὥρα ὅτε, ἵνα (see ἵνα, II:2d.), καί and a finite verb, ὥρα ἐν ἤ, οὔπω ὥρα συναχθῆναι τά κτήνη, Aeschylus down, in Passow, under the word, vol. ii., p. 2620a; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, B. I:3); so the Latin tempus est, Cicero, Tusc. 1,41, 99; ad Attic 10,8). Owing to the context ὥρα sometimes denotes the fatal hour, the hour of death: L Tr WH readὥρα αὐτῶν i. e. the time when these predictions are fulfilled); ἡ ὥρα τίνος, 'one's hour', i. e. the time when one must undergo the destiny appointed him by God: so of Christ, ἐξαυτῆς (ἀφ' ἧς? cf., p. 58b top), Winer s Grammar, § 64,5, under the word; Buttmann, 82 (71); on the omission of the article with it (e. g. Winer s Grammar, § 19, under the word).
