Strong's Lexicon chamishi: Fifth Original Word: חֲמִישִׁי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָמֵשׁ (chamesh), meaning "five." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for ordinal numbers like "fifth" is πέντε (pente) for the cardinal number five, and πέμπτος (pemptos) for the ordinal "fifth," as seen in the Septuagint and New Testament. Usage: The term "chamishi" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the ordinal number "fifth." It is often used in the context of sequences, such as days of the week, months, or positions in a list. The word is primarily used to indicate order and sequence, emphasizing the structured nature of time and events in the biblical narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number five, and by extension "fifth," could symbolize completeness or divine order, as seen in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The use of ordinal numbers like "chamishi" reflects the Israelites' understanding of time as a divinely ordered sequence, with each day and event having its appointed place.
