Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While τηλικοῦτος is a Greek term, its concept of greatness or significance can be related to Hebrew words that convey similar meanings, such as גָּדוֹל (gadol, Strong's Hebrew 1419), which means "great" or "large," and רַב (rav, Strong's Hebrew 7227), meaning "many" or "much." These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe the greatness of God, His works, or significant individuals. Usage: The word τηλικοῦτος appears in the New Testament to emphasize the significance or greatness of a person, thing, or event. It is used to draw attention to the notable characteristics or qualities of the subject in question. Context: The Greek word τηλικοῦτος is found in the New Testament in contexts that highlight the remarkable nature or importance of something. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is used in Hebrews 7:4: "Consider how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!" Here, τηλικοῦτος underscores the greatness of Melchizedek, to whom Abraham, a revered patriarch, gave a tithe. This usage emphasizes Melchizedek's superior status and the significance of his priesthood, which is a type of Christ's eternal priesthood. The word serves to draw the reader's attention to the extraordinary nature of Melchizedek's role and the implications for understanding the priesthood of Jesus Christ.
