Original Word: ἕκτος
Part of Speech: Adjective

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for ordinal numbers like "sixth" is שִׁשִּׁי (shishi), Strong's Hebrew #8345.

Usage: The term "hektos" is used in the New Testament to denote the ordinal number "sixth." It is often used in contexts involving time, sequence, or order, such as the sixth hour of the day or the sixth seal in the Book of Revelation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish and Greco-Roman world, the day was typically divided into twelve hours, starting at sunrise. The "sixth hour" would therefore correspond to noon. Numbers held significant symbolic meaning in biblical texts, and the number six often represented imperfection or incompleteness, falling short of the number seven, which symbolized completeness or divine perfection.
