bôqer · bo'-ker · word · “morning, dawn”
In a sentence
Boqer means morning — the daily dawn that the Bible loves. "Weeping may tarry for the night, but boqer brings rejoicing."
Boqer is the new beginning. God's steadfast love is "new every morning" (Lamentations 3:23), and the dawn of resurrection day comes on a Sunday morning.
In the Psalms, the morning is when God answers, when the wicked's end appears, when worship rises before the day begins.
