Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal dative phrase te enate hora {τῇ ἐνάτῃ ὥρᾳ | tē ená-tē hō-rā} ‘at the ninth hour’, where the article plus ordinal adjective and noun in the dative case function as a dative of time, pinpointing when the event occurs.
Root and etymology
hōromega–rho
“fixed time, season”
In context — Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is, being translated, “My God , My God, why did You forsake Me?”
