kon -tin´ū̇ -al , kon -tin´ū̇ -a -li : Without cessation, although there may be intervals between its presence; that which regularly recurs throughout a period, as Luke 24:53 : "(They) were continually in the temple"; "lest ... by her continual coming" ( Luke 18:5 ). In Old Testament for Hebrew tādhı̄r , "pursue," as one drop of rain follows another in swift succession, but more frequently by tāmı̄dh for offerings repeated at intervals, as Exodus 29:42; occasionally the Hebrew has the phrase literally meaning "all the day" (kol ha -yōm ), as Genesis 6:5 . In the New Testament most frequently for diá pantós , "through all" ("always" Matthew 18:10; Hebrews 13:15 ), "sometimes," adialeı́ptōs , "incessantly" (Romans 9:2 the King James Version) and diēnekḗs , "continuously" (Hebrews 7:3 ).
