Berean Strong's Lexicon chamishshim: Fifty Original Word: חֲמִשִּׁים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָמֵשׁ (chamesh), meaning "five." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the number fifty is πεντήκοντα (pentēkonta), Strong's Greek #4004. Usage: The Hebrew word "chamishshim" is the numeral for fifty. It is used in the Bible to denote quantities, ages, measurements, and time periods. As a cardinal number, it appears in various contexts, including census counts, military divisions, and offerings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, numbers held significant cultural and symbolic meanings. The number fifty is often associated with the concept of jubilee, a time of liberation and restoration. Every fiftieth year, according to Levitical law, was a Jubilee year, a time when slaves were freed, debts were forgiven, and land was returned to its original owners (Leviticus 25:10-13). This reflects the importance of the number fifty in the socio-religious life of Israel, symbolizing freedom and divine provision.
