Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From πέντε (pente, meaning "five") and χίλιοι (chilioi, meaning "thousand").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek term πεντακισχίλιοι, as it is a compound word specific to the Greek language. However, the concept of "five thousand" can be broken down into its components in Hebrew: חֲמֵשׁ (chamesh, Strong's Hebrew 2568) for "five" and אֶלֶף (eleph, Strong's Hebrew 505) for "thousand." These components are used separately in the Hebrew Bible to denote similar numerical values.

Usage: The word πεντακισχίλιοι is used in the New Testament to denote a group of five thousand, specifically in the context of the miraculous feeding of the multitude by Jesus.

Context: The Greek term πεντακισχίλιοι appears in the New Testament in the context of the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, a significant event recorded in all four Gospels (Matthew 14:21, Mark 6:44, Luke 9:14, and John 6:10). This miracle is one of the few events that is consistently detailed across the synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John, highlighting its importance in the ministry of Jesus.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the account in Matthew 14:21 reads: "About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children." This indicates that the number "five thousand" refers specifically to the men present, suggesting that the total number of people fed could have been significantly higher when including women and children.

The feeding of the five thousand is often interpreted as a demonstration of Jesus' divine authority and compassion. It serves as a testament to His ability to provide abundantly for the needs of His followers, both physically and spiritually. The miracle also prefigures the Last Supper and the Eucharist, symbolizing the spiritual nourishment that Jesus offers to all believers.

The use of πεντακισχίλιοι in this context underscores the magnitude of the miracle, as it was a substantial crowd that was fed with only five loaves and two fish. This event is a pivotal moment in the Gospels, illustrating the power and provision of Jesus and reinforcing His identity as the Messiah.
