Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ἕνδεκα" (hendeka), meaning "eleven."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of ordinal numbers, such as "eleventh," is also present in the Hebrew Bible. The corresponding Hebrew term for "eleventh" is "עַשְׁתֵּי עָשָׂר" (ashtay asar), which is found in various contexts, such as genealogies and descriptions of time. However, there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in Strong's Hebrew entries, as the Hebrew language uses different roots and structures for numbers.

Usage: The word "ἑνδέκατος" is used in the New Testament to denote the eleventh in a sequence or order. It appears in contexts where specific timing or order is significant.

Context: The Greek term "ἑνδέκατος" is used in the New Testament to indicate the eleventh position in a sequence. This term is found in the context of time, specifically in the parable of the workers in the vineyard, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 20:6, 9, the term is used to describe the "eleventh hour," a time late in the day when additional laborers are hired to work in the vineyard. This parable illustrates the kingdom of heaven and the generosity of God, who rewards not based on the duration of labor but on His grace and mercy.

The use of "ἑνδέκατος" in this parable emphasizes the unexpected and gracious nature of God's kingdom, where the last can be first, and the first can be last. It challenges the conventional understanding of fairness and highlights the boundless generosity of the divine.
