chamishshim: Fifty

Original Word: חֲמִשִּׁים
Part of Speech: noun plural
Transliteration: chamishshim
Pronunciation: khah-meesh-sheem
Phonetic Spelling: (kham-ish-sheem')
Definition: Fifty
Meaning: fifty

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.
