Exegesis
The closing temporal phrase heos horas enates {ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης | hé-ōs hō-ras e-ná-tēs} specifies duration by having heos govern a genitive of time, marking the endpoint “until the ninth hour.” The sequence of a temporal genitive absolute followed by a concise main clause and spatial and temporal prepositional phrases creates a tightly focused depiction of an extended period of darkness that frames this phase of the crucifixion narrative.
In context — Mark 15:33
And when the sixth hour had come, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
