Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ἑκατόν (hekaton), meaning "hundred," and πλάσιος (plasios), meaning "fold" or "times." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hekatontaplasión," the concept of abundant blessing and multiplication is present in Hebrew Scripture, such as in Genesis 26:12, where Isaac reaps a hundredfold. Usage: The term "hekatontaplasión" is used to describe a multiplication or increase by a factor of one hundred. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to express the abundant blessings or rewards that come from God, particularly in response to faithfulness and sacrifice. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, the concept of a "hundredfold" increase would have been understood as an extraordinary yield, far surpassing normal expectations. This term would resonate with an audience familiar with farming and the significance of a bountiful harvest. It underscores the idea of divine provision and blessing that exceeds human effort and expectation.
