Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: Ὡραῖος (Strong'S #5611 — Adjective — horaios — ho-rah'-yos )

describes "that which is seasonable, produced at the right time," as of the prime of life, or the time when anything is at its loveliest and best (from hora, "a season," a period fixed by natural laws and revolutions, and so the best season of the year). It is used of the outward appearance of whited sepulchres in contrast to the corruption within,  Matthew 23:27; of the Jerusalem gate called "Beautiful,"  Acts 3:2,10; of the feet of those that bring glad tidings,  Romans 10:15 .

 Genesis 2:9 Genesis 3:6 Genesis 26:7 Genesis 29:17  Genesis 39:6 Song of Solomon 1:16 2:14 4:3 6:3,5

2: Ἀστεῖος (Strong'S #791 — Adjective — asteios — as-ti'-os )

connected with astu, "a city," was used primarily "of that which befitted the town, town-bred" (corresponding Eng. words are "polite," "polished," connected with polis, "a town;" cp. "urbane," from Lat., urbs, "a city"). Among Greek writers it is set in contrast to agroikos, "rustic," and aischros, "base," and was used, e.g., of clothing. It is found in the NT only of Moses,  Acts 7:20 , "(exceeding) fair," lit., "fair (to God)," and  Hebrews 11:23 , "goodly" (AV, "proper"). See Fair , Goodly , Note, Proper.
