Berean Strong's Lexicon shillesh: To do something a third time, to divide into thirds, or to triple. Original Word: שִׁלֵּשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַשׁ (shalash), meaning "to do a third time" or "to divide into three parts." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often involves the concept of "tritos" (G5154), meaning "third" or "third time," which appears in contexts like the resurrection of Jesus on the third day. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shillesh" primarily conveys the action of doing something for the third time or dividing something into three parts. It is used in contexts where repetition or division into thirds is significant, often emphasizing completeness or thoroughness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers often held symbolic significance. The number three, in particular, was associated with completeness and stability. This is reflected in various aspects of Hebrew life and scripture, where actions or events occurring three times were seen as establishing a pattern or confirming a matter. The use of "shillesh" would resonate with this cultural understanding, emphasizing the thoroughness or completeness of an action.
