Exegesis
The direct objects tēn hēmeran {τὴν ἡμέραν | tḗn hē-mé-ran} ‘the day’ and tēn hōran {τὴν ὥραν | tḗn hō-ran} ‘the hour’ are linked by the coordinating negator oude {οὐδὲ | oudè} ‘nor’, creating parallelism of two unspecified temporal markers. Placing the imperative before its reason reflects typical Greek exhortation structure, rendered in English to convey an ongoing readiness.
In context — Matthew 25:13
Remain vigilant , for you do not know the day or the hour .
