Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἑπτά (heptá), meaning "seven."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 7637: שְׁבִיעִי (shebi'i) • The Hebrew equivalent for "seventh," used in the Old Testament to denote the seventh day, month, or year, often in contexts related to the Sabbath and Jubilee.

• Strong's Hebrew 7651: שֶׁבַע (sheva) • The cardinal number "seven," from which the ordinal form שְׁבִיעִי (shebi'i) is derived.

These Hebrew entries reflect the foundational role of the number seven in biblical theology, paralleling the Greek usage of ἕβδομος in the New Testament.

Usage: The word ἕβδομος is used in the New Testament to denote the seventh in a sequence, often in reference to days, positions, or order.

Context: The Greek term ἕβδομος appears in the New Testament to signify the seventh in a series. This ordinal number is significant in biblical texts, often associated with completion and rest, reflecting the creation narrative where God rested on the seventh day. The concept of the seventh day as a day of rest is foundational in Judeo-Christian traditions, symbolizing divine completion and sanctification.

In the New Testament, ἕβδομος is used in contexts that emphasize the importance of the number seven in God's divine order. For example, in the Book of Revelation, the number seven is frequently used to denote completeness and perfection, with ἕβδομος appearing in descriptions of sequences and events that are part of God's ultimate plan.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides instances where ἕβδομος is used, such as in Revelation 8:1: "When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." This passage highlights the significance of the seventh seal in the unfolding of prophetic events.

The use of ἕβδομος in the New Testament underscores the continuity of the biblical theme of the number seven as a symbol of divine order and fulfillment. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the ultimate completion of His purposes.
