Strong's Lexicon pentekaidekatos: Fifteenth Original Word: πεντεκαιδεκάτος Word Origin: From the Greek words πέντε (pente, meaning "five") and δέκα (deka, meaning "ten"), combined with the suffix -τος (-tos), which is used to form ordinal numbers. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6240 (עָשָׂר, 'asar) for "ten" - H2568 (חָמֵשׁ, chamesh) for "five" - H2568 + H6240 (חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה, chamesh esreh) for "fifteenth" Usage: The term "pentekaidekatos" is an ordinal number used to denote the fifteenth in a sequence. In the context of the Bible, it is often used to specify a particular day of the month. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the calendar was primarily lunar, and specific days of the month held significant religious importance. The fifteenth day of certain months was notable for the celebration of key festivals. For example, the fifteenth day of Nisan marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, following Passover. Similarly, the fifteenth day of Tishri is the start of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot).
