Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek εἴκοσι corresponds to the Hebrew word עֶשְׂרִים (esrim), which also means "twenty." This Hebrew term is used throughout the Old Testament in similar contexts, such as in counting, measurements, and descriptions of age or time. Examples include its use in the census counts in the Book of Numbers and in the description of the dimensions of the tabernacle and temple.

Usage: The term εἴκοσι is used in the New Testament to denote the number twenty. It appears in contexts involving counting, measurements, or descriptions of quantities.

Context: The Greek numeral εἴκοσι, translated as "twenty," is a straightforward term used in the New Testament to indicate the number twenty. It appears in various contexts, often related to measurements or quantities. For example, in Acts 27:28, the term is used in the account of Paul's shipwreck, where the depth of the sea is measured as "twenty fathoms." This usage highlights the practical application of the term in describing specific numerical values.

In Revelation 4:4, εἴκοσι is used to describe the twenty-four elders seated around the throne, emphasizing the structured and ordered nature of the heavenly vision. The use of εἴκοσι in this context contributes to the symbolic and numerological significance often found in apocalyptic literature.

The term is also found in contexts that describe age or time, such as in the genealogies or historical accounts where ages or durations are specified. The use of εἴκοσι in these instances underscores the importance of precise numerical values in the biblical narrative, reflecting the cultural and historical emphasis on numbers in ancient times.
