διάστημα G1292
interval, space between; a temporal or spatial gap or distance
This noun denotes an interval, space, or gap—temporal or spatial separation between points. Acts 5:7 describes an 'interval of about three hours' between Peter's confrontations with Ananias and Sapphira. Classical usage included musical intervals, geometric radius, temporal duration, or spaces between objects. The gap or separation in time or space is the unifying concept.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A temporal interval or space of time between events. The tragic sequence in Acts 5:7 unfolds with Sapphira entering 'after an interval of about three hours,' unaware of her husband's death. This temporal gap heightened the drama—she had no opportunity to learn what had happened. Translations recognize the temporal spacing, the measured gap between the two related events. 1×
