Strong's Lexicon tetrakosioi: Four hundred Original Word: τετρακόσιοι Word Origin: From the Greek words τέσσαρες (tessares, meaning "four") and ἑκατόν (hekaton, meaning "hundred") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3967 (מֵאָה, me'ah): The Hebrew word for "hundred," which is used in combination to form numbers like four hundred. Usage: The Greek numeral τετρακόσιοι (tetrakosioi) is used to denote the number four hundred. It appears in contexts where specific quantities are being described, often in historical or genealogical records. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, numbers were often used to convey not only literal quantities but also symbolic meanings. The number four hundred could represent completeness or a significant period, as seen in various historical contexts. In the Greco-Roman world, numerals were essential for trade, census, and record-keeping, reflecting the structured nature of society. HELPS Word-studies 5071 tetrakósioi(from tetra, "four" and hekaton, "a hundred") – four hundred. Note: Scripture often uses multiplies (like "four" times "one hundred" = "400") to convey important symbolic meaning. For example, the product of these two numbers strongly signifies "universality" ("total inclusiveness"). [Ten stands for "completeness/inclusiveness," so 102 emphatically expresses "total inclusiveness" which emphasizes the already inclusive (universal) sense of four.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originpl. cardinal number from tessares and hekaton Definition four hundred NASB Translation four hundred (4).
