Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the ordinal "fifth," the Hebrew word "חֲמִישִׁי" (chamishi) serves a similar function in the Old Testament, denoting the fifth in a sequence. Usage: The term "pemptos" is used in the New Testament to denote the ordinal number "fifth." It is employed to describe sequence or order, particularly in lists or series. The usage of "pemptos" is straightforward, indicating the position of an item or event as the fifth in a sequence.
