The term "hungred" is an archaic form of the word "hundred," which appears in various contexts throughout the Bible. In the Berean Standard Bible , the word "hundred" is used to denote a numerical value, often in the context of counting people, animals, or other items. The use of "hundred" is significant in biblical narratives, laws, and prophecies, reflecting both literal and symbolic meanings.

Old Testament Usage

In the Old Testament, "hundred" frequently appears in genealogies, military counts, and descriptions of offerings. For example, in Genesis 5:3, the age of Adam is recorded: "When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth." Here, the use of "hundred" helps to convey the longevity of the patriarchs.

The term is also used in military contexts, as seen in Judges 7:7, where Gideon is instructed by the LORD: "With the three hundred men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others go home." This passage highlights the LORD's power to deliver victory through a small, divinely chosen group, emphasizing faith and obedience over numerical strength.

In the context of offerings and sacrifices, "hundred" is used to specify quantities, as in Leviticus 27:16: "If a man consecrates to the LORD part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed required for it: fifty shekels of silver for each homer of barley seed." Here, the use of "hundred" in the valuation process underscores the importance of precise adherence to the law.

New Testament Usage

In the New Testament, "hundred" appears in parables and teachings of Jesus, often to illustrate abundance or completeness. In the Parable of the Sower, found in Matthew 13:8, Jesus describes the seed that fell on good soil: "Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold." This use of "hundred" symbolizes the fruitful and abundant yield of those who hear and understand the word of God.

Similarly, in the Parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus speaks of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to find the one that is lost, as recorded in Matthew 18:12: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that is lost?" Here, "hundred" represents the totality of the flock, emphasizing the value of each individual to God.

Symbolic Significance

The number "hundred" often carries symbolic significance in biblical literature, representing completeness or a large quantity. In prophetic literature, such as the visions in the Book of Revelation, numbers are frequently used symbolically to convey deeper spiritual truths. While "hundred" is not as prominently symbolic as numbers like seven or twelve, it still contributes to the overall numerical symbolism found throughout Scripture.

In summary, the term "hundred" in the Bible serves both practical and symbolic purposes, appearing in contexts ranging from genealogies and military counts to parables and teachings. Its usage underscores themes of abundance, completeness, and divine provision, reflecting the broader theological messages of Scripture.(a.) Hungered; hungry.
