Strong's Lexicon dekapente: Fifteen Original Word: δεκαπέντε Word Origin: From Greek words δέκα (deka, meaning "ten") and πέντε (pente, meaning "five") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the number fifteen is חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה (chamesh esreh), which combines the words for five (חָמֵשׁ, chamesh) and ten (עֶשֶׂר, eser). Usage: The Greek word "dekapente" is a cardinal number used to denote the quantity of fifteen. It appears in contexts where specific numerical values are important, such as counting days, people, or other items. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, numbers held significant importance in both daily life and religious practices. The number fifteen, while not as symbolically rich as numbers like seven or twelve, was still used in various contexts, including the Jewish calendar. For example, the fifteenth day of the month of Nisan is significant as it marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread following Passover.
