Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ἑκατόν (hekaton), meaning "hundred," and ἔτος (etos), meaning "year."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew concept can be found in entries related to age and years, such as Strong's Hebrew 3967 (מֵאָה, me'ah), which means "hundred." This Hebrew term is used in similar contexts to denote age or a period of a hundred years, often in genealogies or descriptions of lifespans in the Old Testament.

Usage: The word ἑκατονταετής is used in the context of describing age, specifically referring to a person who has reached the age of one hundred years.

Context: The Greek term ἑκατονταετής appears in the New Testament in contexts where age is significant, often highlighting the longevity or the fulfillment of a divine promise. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, reaching the age of one hundred was considered a significant milestone, often associated with wisdom, experience, and the blessing of a long life. The use of this term underscores the fulfillment of God's promises and the faithfulness of individuals who lived to see such an age.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to emphasize the remarkable nature of God's work in the lives of His people. For instance, the age of one hundred is mentioned in the context of God's covenant with Abraham, where the patriarch's advanced age serves to highlight the miraculous nature of Isaac's birth. This underscores the theme of divine intervention and the fulfillment of God's promises despite human limitations.
