Berean Strong's Lexicon pemptos: Fifth Original Word: πέμπτος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "πέντε" (pente), meaning "five." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the ordinal "fifth," the Hebrew word "חֲמִישִׁי" (chamishi) serves a similar function in the Old Testament, denoting the fifth in a sequence. Usage: The term "pemptos" is used in the New Testament to denote the ordinal number "fifth." It is employed to describe sequence or order, particularly in lists or series. The usage of "pemptos" is straightforward, indicating the position of an item or event as the fifth in a sequence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, numbers often held symbolic significance. The number five, and by extension the ordinal "fifth," could symbolize grace or God's goodness in some Jewish traditions. However, in the New Testament, "pemptos" is primarily used in a literal sense to indicate order rather than symbolic meaning.
