Strong's Lexicon hendeka: Eleven Original Word: ἕνδεκα Part of Speech: Indeclinable Numeral (Adjective) Transliteration: hendeka Pronunciation: HEN-deh-kah Phonetic Spelling: (hen'-dek-ah) Definition: Eleven Meaning: eleven. Word Origin: From the combination of the Greek words "ἕν" (hen, meaning "one") and "δέκα" (deka, meaning "ten"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the number eleven is "עַשְׁתֵּי עָשָׂר" (ashtay asar), which is not directly linked to a specific Strong's number but is used in similar contexts in the Old Testament. Usage: The Greek numeral ἕνδεκα (hendeka) is used to denote the number eleven. It appears in the New Testament primarily in contexts involving counting or listing, such as the number of apostles after Judas Iscariot's betrayal and death. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish and early Christian context, numbers often held symbolic significance. The number twelve, representing completeness and the twelve tribes of Israel, was significant for the apostles. After Judas' betrayal, the number of apostles was reduced to eleven, symbolizing a temporary state of incompleteness until Matthias was chosen to restore the number to twelve (Acts 1:26).
