Usage: The term ἑκατονταετής is used to describe someone or something that is a hundred years old. It is an adjective that specifies age, often used in genealogical or historical contexts within the Bible to denote longevity or the passage of time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient cultures, including those of the biblical world, reaching the age of one hundred was considered a significant milestone, often associated with wisdom, experience, and divine blessing. Longevity was seen as a sign of God's favor and was highly respected in patriarchal societies. The concept of living to a hundred years was also symbolic of completeness and fulfillment.
