Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G706 (ἀριθμός, arithmos) – number - G5505 (χίλιοι, chilioi) – thousand Usage: The Hebrew word "mispar" primarily refers to a number or a count. It is used in the Bible to denote a specific quantity or to express the concept of counting or numbering. This term can refer to both literal numerical values and metaphorical expressions of multitude or limitation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, numbers held significant importance, not only for practical purposes such as census-taking and organizing tribes but also for symbolic and theological reasons.

The practice of counting was integral to various aspects of life, including religious rituals, military organization, and societal structure.
