Strong's Lexicon eikosi: Twenty Original Word: εἴκοσι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek numeral system Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6242 (עֶשְׂרִים, esrim): The Hebrew equivalent for the number twenty, used similarly in the Old Testament for counting and measurements. Usage: The Greek word "εἴκοσι" (eikosi) is a cardinal number that means "twenty." It is used in the New Testament to denote a quantity or count of twenty items or units. This numeral is straightforward in its application, often appearing in contexts involving measurements, ages, or counts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, numbers held significant importance, often used in various aspects of daily life, including commerce, architecture, and religious practices. The number twenty, while not as symbolically rich as numbers like seven or twelve, was still a practical and necessary part of the numerical system. In the context of the Bible, numbers often carry symbolic meanings, but "eikosi" is primarily used in a literal sense.
