δισχίλιοι, δισχίλιαι, δισχίλια, two thousand: Mark 5:13. (From Herodotus down.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "δις" (dis), meaning "twice" or "double," and "χίλιοι" (chílioi), meaning "thousand."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek term δισχίλιοι, as it is a specific numerical term used in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of "two thousand" can be expressed in Hebrew using the words "שְׁנֵי אֲלָפִים" (shenei alafim), which combines the word for "two" (שְׁנֵי) with the word for "thousand" (אֲלָפִים).

Usage: The word is used in the New Testament to denote a quantity of two thousand. It appears in contexts where specific numerical values are significant, often in descriptions of large groups or quantities.

Context: The Greek term δισχίλιοι is a numerical adjective used in the New Testament to specify a count of two thousand. It is a compound word formed by combining "δις," meaning "twice," with "χίλιοι," meaning "thousand." This term is used in the context of describing large numbers, often in relation to people or objects.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), δισχίλιοι appears in the Gospel of Mark, specifically in Mark 5:13. In this passage, the term is used to describe the number of pigs that rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned after Jesus cast a legion of demons into them: "The unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water."

The use of δισχίλιοι in this context emphasizes the magnitude of the event and the significant impact of Jesus' miracle. The large number of pigs serves to illustrate the power and authority of Jesus over demonic forces, as well as the dramatic nature of the exorcism.
