Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the specific term "τεσσαρακονταετής," the concept of "forty" as a significant number is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible. The corresponding Hebrew word for "forty" is "אַרְבָּעִים" (Strong's Hebrew 705), which is used in various contexts to denote periods of time, such as the forty years of Israel's wandering in the wilderness (Numbers 14:33-34) or the forty days and nights of rain during the flood (Genesis 7:12). Usage: This word is used in the New Testament to describe a person or thing that is forty years old. It is a specific term that denotes the age of an individual or the duration of time. Context: The term "τεσσαρακονταετής" appears in the New Testament in the context of describing the age of a man who was healed. In Acts 4:22, the word is used to specify the age of the man who was miraculously healed by Peter and John. The verse states, "For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old." This detail emphasizes the significance of the miracle, as the man had been lame for a considerable period, highlighting the power and authority of the apostles' ministry through the Holy Spirit. The use of "τεσσαρακονταετής" underscores the completeness and maturity associated with the number forty in biblical literature, often symbolizing a period of testing, trial, or judgment.
