III. שׁער (√of following).
שָׁעָה noun feminine brief time, moment (ᵑ7 id., שָֽׁעֲתָא, Late Hebrew שָׁעָה time, hour; Syriac 
moment, then hour Brock369, but Christian-Palestinian Aramaic 
moment, hour Schw Idioticon 97 Schulth Lex.211; perhaps = Assyrian šattu, duration; Tel Amarna91,77 še-ti, time, hour (as Canaanism) Wkl KAT 3. 335; Arabic 
, 
portion of time, Ethiopic 
time, 
hour, time (Buhl calls Arabic Ethiopic loan-words, but see Wkl l.c); √ unknown: possibly Assyrian loan-word (see Wkl l.c); Dl Proverbs 39f. conjecture* שׁיע = שָׁעָה look, hence moment = 'Augenblick,' but verb ׳שׁ rather of steadygaze); — moment: usually emphatic בַּהּשַֿׁעֲתָא (read possibly ׳שָֽׁ as ᵑ7 Syriac, M86* f. Buhl14 compare variant reading in Str) in the same moment, forthwith Daniel 3:6,15; Daniel 4:30; Daniel 5:5; absolute שָׁעָה חֲדָה Daniel 4:16 for a moment.
שָׁעָה to look (kindred to שָׂכָה No. 1, which see); hence, absol. to look around (for help), 2 Samuel 22:42. Specially
(a) followed by אֶל to regard any one (his prayers [offerings, rather]), Genesis 4:4,.
(b) to look to any one for aid, followed by אֶל Isaiah 17:8 עַל Isaiah 17:7, 31:1 בְּ Exodus 5:9.
(c) followed by מִן and מֵעַל to look away from, to turn the eyes from anything, to let it alone, Job 7:19, 14:6 Isaiah 22:4.
Hiphil, i.q. Kal, letter c, followed by מִן Psa. 39:14, הָשַׁע מִמֶּנִּי “turn thy eyes from me.” The form הָשַׁע is imp. apoc. for הַשְׁעֵה, whence הַשַׁע, and, by lengthening the former syllable (like יִרֶב, יֵרֶב; יִכְהֶה, יֵכַהּ), הָשַׁע. There is therefore no need to refer this form to a root עע֞, or that the vowels should be changed. Another הָשַׁע see under שָׁעַע Hiphil.
Hithpael הִשְׁתָּעָה
(1) to look around (for help), Isaiah 41:10.
(2) i.q. הִתְרָאָה letter b, to look upon one another (sc. in fighting, or rather in disputing), Isaiah 41:23.-Derivative, Ch. שָׁעָה.
II.
שָׁעָה i.q. Syr. ܫܥܳܐ, Heb. שָׁעַע to be smeared together, to be smeared over (as the eye), Isaiah 32:3.
שָׁעָה emphat. שַׁעֲתָא, שַׁעְתָּא Ch. f. a moment of time, pr. the twinkling of an eye, Augenblick (Arabic سَاعَةُ a moment; also, an hour, compare Dutch Stondt, which signifies both). בַּהּ שַׁעְתָּא at the same moment, i.e. immediately, Daniel 3:6, 15 4:30 5:5 but 4:16, כְּשָׁעָה חֲדָא “for a short time.”
