STRONGS NT 1766: ἔννατοςἔννατος or ἔνατος (which latter form, supported by the authority alike of manuscripts and of insert., has been everywhere restored by L T Tr WH; cf. (under Nu; Tdf. Proleg., p. 80); Krüger, § 24, 2,12; Winer's Grammar, 43; (found once (Revelation 21:20) in Rec.st)), ἐννάτῃ, ἐννατον (from Homer down), ninth: Revelation 21:20; the ἐνάτῃ ὥρα, spoken of in Matthew 20:5; Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44; Acts 3:1; Acts 10:3, 30, corresponds to our 3 o'clock in the afternoon; for the sixth hour of the Jews coincides with the twelfth of the day as divided by our method, and the first hour of the day with them is the same as the sixth with us. (Cf. BB. DD., under the word, Hour.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἐννέα (ennea), meaning "nine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of the ninth hour or the ninth in sequence can be related to the Hebrew ordinal number תְּשִׁיעִי (t'shiy'i), Strong's Hebrew entry 8671, which also means "ninth." This Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to denote the ninth in a series, such as the ninth month or the ninth year.

Usage: The term ἔνατος is used in the New Testament to denote the ninth in a sequence, often referring to time, such as the ninth hour of the day.

Context: The Greek word ἔνατος (enatos) is an ordinal number meaning "ninth." In the context of the New Testament, it is primarily used to indicate the ninth hour of the day, which corresponds to approximately 3:00 PM in modern timekeeping. This time was significant in Jewish daily life as it was one of the hours of prayer and sacrifice.

In the New Testament, the ninth hour is notably mentioned in the context of significant events. For instance, in the Gospel of Matthew, it is recorded that Jesus cried out from the cross at the ninth hour (Matthew 27:46, BSB: "About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' which means, 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'"). This moment is pivotal in the crucifixion narrative, marking the culmination of Jesus' suffering and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

The ninth hour is also mentioned in the Book of Acts, where Peter and John went up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (Acts 3:1, BSB: "One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour."). This highlights the continued observance of Jewish prayer customs by the early Christian community.

The use of ἔνατος in these contexts underscores the importance of specific times in the biblical narrative, both in terms of religious practice and the fulfillment of divine events.
