da'-li:
This word, coming as it does from the Hebrew yom "day," and the Greek hemera,
suggests either day by day (Exodus
5:13), that which is prepared for one daily (Nehemiah
5:18), as e.g. our "daily bread," meaning bread sufficient for that day (Matthew
6:11); or day by day continuously, one day after another in succession, as
"the daily burnt offering" (Numbers
29:6 the King James Version), "daily ministration" (Acts
6:1), and "daily in the temple" (Acts
5:42 the King James Version). The meaning of the word "daily" as used in the
Lord's Prayer (Matthew
6:11) seems to indicate sufficient for our need, whether we consider that
need as a day at a time, or day after day as we are permitted to live. "Give us
bread sufficient for our sustenance."
William E. Vans
