mor´ō , too - mor´ō : Two words are used in the Old Testament in this meaning: בּקר , bōḳer , which properly means "dawn," or "morning," and מחר , māḥār , properly the same, but used for the next morning and hence, "tomorrow," like the German morgen . The derivative מחרת , mo - ḥŏrāth , is "the following day," "all the next day," especially after yōm ("day"), but usually coupled with a noun following, as in Leviticus 23:11 , moḥŏrāth ha -shabbāth "day after the Sabbath." It is also used adverbially for "on the morrow," as in Genesis 19:34 .

In the Greek of the New Testament we find αὔριον , aúrion ( Matthew 6:34 , etc.), commonly used, but ἑξῆς , hexḗs , also occurs (Acts 25:17 the King James Version, where the Revised Version (British and American) renders more exactly "the next day"); ἐπαύριον , epaúrion , is "on the morrow" Acts 10:9 , Acts 10:23-24 .
