Usage: The Greek word δεκατέσσαρες (dekatessares) is used in the New Testament to denote the number fourteen. It is a cardinal number and is used in contexts where counting or specifying a quantity is necessary. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, numbers held significant cultural and symbolic meanings. The number fourteen, being a multiple of seven, often carried connotations of completeness or perfection, as seven was considered a number of divine significance. In Jewish tradition, the number fourteen is associated with the Passover, which occurs on the 14th day of the first month, Nisan. This connection underscores the importance of the number in religious observances and historical events.
