Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek numeral system, related to the base word for six (ἕξ, hex).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek numeral ἑξήκοντα corresponds to the Hebrew numeral שִׁשִּׁים (shishim), which also means sixty. This Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament in various contexts, such as in genealogies, measurements, and descriptions of age or quantities. Examples include Genesis 5:15, where it describes the age of Mahalalel when he became the father of Jared, and Numbers 7:88, which details offerings made by the leaders of Israel.

Usage: The term ἑξήκοντα is used in the New Testament to denote the number sixty. It appears in contexts involving numerical counts, ages, and measurements.

Context: The Greek numeral ἑξήκοντα, translated as "sixty," is used in several passages within the New Testament to convey specific numerical values. It is a cardinal number that appears in various contexts, often to emphasize completeness or significant quantities.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἑξήκοντα is found in passages such as:

• Luke 24:13: "That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about sixty stadia from Jerusalem." Here, the term is used to describe the distance between Jerusalem and Emmaus, highlighting the journey undertaken by the disciples.

• 1 Timothy 5:9: "No widow may be enrolled on the list unless she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man." In this context, the number sixty is used as a criterion for the enrollment of widows, indicating a standard of maturity and life experience.

The use of ἑξήκοντα in the New Testament often serves to provide precise numerical information, which can be important for understanding the cultural and historical context of the events described. The number sixty, like other numbers in biblical texts, can also carry symbolic significance, often associated with completeness or a significant portion of time or quantity.
