Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 8337: שֵׁשׁ (shesh) • The Hebrew numeral for six. • Strong's Hebrew 8346: שִׁשִּׁים (shishim) • The Hebrew numeral for sixty, derived from the root for six. These Hebrew entries reflect the similar use of the number six in the Old Testament, where it appears in various contexts, including genealogies, measurements, and ritual practices. The consistency between the Greek and Hebrew usage underscores the continuity of numerical symbolism throughout the biblical text. Usage: The term ἕξ is used in the New Testament to denote the number six. It appears in various contexts, often in lists or descriptions involving quantities. Context: The Greek numeral ἕξ (hex) is a straightforward term used to represent the number six. In the New Testament, it appears in several passages, often in contexts that involve counting or specifying quantities. For example, in John 2:6, the term is used to describe the six stone water jars at the wedding in Cana: "Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons" (BSB). This usage highlights the cultural and ritual significance of the number in Jewish tradition. Another notable instance is found in Mark 9:2, where Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain six days after a significant event: "After six days, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves" (BSB). This passage underscores the number's role in marking time and setting the stage for the Transfiguration. The number six, while not as symbolically rich as numbers like seven or twelve, still holds importance in biblical numerology. It often represents human effort or imperfection, as it falls short of the number seven, which symbolizes completeness or divine perfection. This understanding can be seen in the broader biblical narrative, where six sometimes signifies labor or human endeavor, as in the six days of creation before the Sabbath rest.
