Strong's Lexicon shibim: Seventy Original Word: שִׁבְעִים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שֶׁבַע (sheva), meaning "seven." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1440 (hebdomekonta): The Greek equivalent for seventy, used in the New Testament, such as in the sending of the seventy disciples in Luke 10:1. Usage: The Hebrew word "shibim" is the numeral for seventy. It is used in the Bible to denote the quantity of seventy, often symbolizing completeness or a significant period of time. The number seventy is frequently associated with judgment, restoration, and the fulfillment of divine purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, numbers often held symbolic meanings. The number seven, from which seventy is derived, is associated with completeness and perfection, as seen in the seven days of creation. Multiplying seven by ten, another number symbolizing completeness, results in seventy, which often signifies a complete cycle or period. In Jewish tradition, seventy is significant in various contexts, such as the seventy nations believed to have descended from Noah, the seventy elders appointed to assist Moses, and the seventy years of Babylonian exile.
