Strong's Lexicon telath: Three Original Word: תְּלַת Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root תְּלָת (telath), which is related to the Hebrew שָׁלוֹשׁ (shalosh), meaning "three." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5140 (τρεῖς, treis) - The Greek equivalent for the number three, used in the New Testament. Usage: The term "telath" is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote the number three. It appears in contexts where counting or numerical significance is important, often in prophetic or symbolic passages. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, numbers often held symbolic meanings. The number three frequently symbolizes completeness or divine perfection. In Jewish tradition, it can represent stability and strength, as seen in the three patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The use of Aramaic in certain biblical texts reflects the historical period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period, when Aramaic was the lingua franca of the region.
