Strong's Lexicon sheni: Second Original Word: שֵׁנִי Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁנָה (shanah), meaning "to repeat" or "to do again." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1208 (δεύτερος, deuteros) - meaning "second." Usage: The Hebrew word "sheni" is primarily used to denote the ordinal number "second." It is used in various contexts, including sequences, rankings, and time. In the Bible, "sheni" often appears in genealogies, descriptions of events, and instructions for rituals and ceremonies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number two, represented by "sheni," often symbolizes division, difference, or duality. It can also imply confirmation or witness, as two witnesses were required to establish a matter (Deuteronomy 19:15). The use of "sheni" in the Bible reflects the importance of order and structure in Hebrew thought, particularly in religious and ceremonial contexts.
