Strong's Lexicon ennatos: Ninth Original Word: ἔνατος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ἐννέα" (ennea), meaning "nine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the ordinal "ninth" is תְּשִׁיעִי (t'shi'i), Strong's Hebrew #8671. Usage: The term "ennatos" is used to denote the ordinal number "ninth." It is employed in the New Testament to specify the ninth in a sequence, often referring to time, such as the ninth hour of the day. Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, the day was typically divided into twelve hours, starting at sunrise. The ninth hour, therefore, would correspond to approximately 3:00 PM. This time was significant in Jewish tradition as it was one of the hours of prayer and sacrifice in the temple. The ninth hour is also notable in the New Testament for being the time of Jesus' death on the cross, marking a pivotal moment in Christian theology.
