bo.qer denotes the beginning-of-day period, used for early actions, daylight after night, and recurring daily observance.

The noun marks the beginning-of-day period: people rise, travel, act, or wait until it; it can contrast with evening or darkness; and it also specifies the daily timing of offerings and other repeated duties. The supplied forms are ordinarily singular absolute, while Isaiah 33:2 shows a plural form in the request for help every morning.

1. Beginning-of-day time and its recurring arrival · dominant

   The singular absolute noun identifies the time when actions begin or daylight follows the night: in 1 Samuel 17:20 the APB renders David as rising early and setting out, while in 2 Kings 19:35 people arise early and discover the dead in the Assyrian camp. It also marks a boundary after nighttime, as 1 Samuel 25:36 has Abigail withholding her report until morning light, and a recurring daily schedule, as 1 Chronicles 16:40 places burnt offerings in the morning and evening and 1 Chronicles 9:27 describes opening duties morning by morning. In Amos 5:8, the clause concerns the turning of deep darkness into morning; Isaiah 33:2 uses the plural absolute form in a plea for help every morning.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term through phrases such as “in the morning,” “morning and evening,” “morning light,” and “morning by morning.” These phrases show the verse-level temporal setting rather than supplying a separate definition for each occurrence.
