Strong's Lexicon chilioi: Thousand Original Word: χίλιοι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word for "thousand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H505 (אֶלֶף, 'eleph): Often translated as "thousand" in the Old Testament, used in similar contexts to denote large numbers or completeness. Usage: The Greek word "χίλιοι" (chilioi) is used in the New Testament to denote the number one thousand. It is a cardinal number and is often used in contexts involving large quantities or significant numerical symbolism. In biblical literature, numbers can carry symbolic meanings, and "thousand" often represents completeness or a large, indefinite quantity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, numbers held significant symbolic meanings. The number "thousand" was often used to express a large, complete, or perfect quantity. In Jewish apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Revelation, numbers are frequently used symbolically to convey theological truths. The use of "thousand" in these contexts can indicate a vast multitude or a complete period of time. HELPS Word-studies 5507 xílioi – properly, a thousand; the product of 10 x 10 x 10 (103, ten cubed); (figuratively) emphatic, total inclusiveness, showing no one (nothing) is left out. See also "the Millennium" in the HELPS prophecy-guide. ["Ten" in Scripture can already express the symbolic meaning "completely" (inclusively) so 5507 (xílioi) as the cube of 10 ("a thousand") powerfully stresses the meaning "full/inclusive" (totality).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina prim. word Definition a thousand NASB Translation one thousand (1), thousand (8), twelve hundred* (1).
