STRONGS NT 382: ἀναρίθμητος

ἀναρίθμητος, ἀναρίθμητον (alpha privative and ἀριθμέω), innumerable: Hebrews 11:12. (From Pindar down.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and the verb ἀριθμέω (arithmeō, "to count"), which is related to ἀριθμός (arithmos, "number").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H369: אַיִן (ayin) • Often used to denote "nothing" or "not," which can imply the absence of countability or number.
• H4557: מִסְפָּר (mispar) • Meaning "number," often used in contexts where something is counted or numbered, the opposite of ἀναρίθμητος.
• H7230: רֹב (rov) • Meaning "multitude" or "abundance," which can convey a sense of vastness or innumerability.

These Hebrew entries reflect similar concepts of innumerability or the inability to quantify, often used in the Old Testament to describe God's creation or blessings. The Greek term ἀναρίθμητος, while specific to the New Testament, shares thematic connections with these Hebrew words, underscoring the continuity of biblical themes across both Testaments.

Usage: The term ἀναρίθμητος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is beyond human ability to quantify or count due to its vastness or multitude.

Context: The Greek word ἀναρίθμητος appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of something being so numerous that it defies human ability to count. This term is used to emphasize the vastness or immeasurable nature of certain things, often in a metaphorical or hyperbolic sense to illustrate the greatness or abundance of God's creation or blessings.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀναρίθμητος is used in contexts that highlight the overwhelming abundance or multitude of something, often in a way that points to the divine or supernatural. For example, it may describe the innumerable stars in the sky or the countless blessings bestowed by God. The use of this term serves to remind readers of the limitations of human understanding and the boundless nature of God's power and provision.

The concept of innumerability is a recurring theme in biblical literature, often used to express the idea that God's works and wonders are beyond human comprehension. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes God's infinite nature and the vastness of His creation.
