Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ἀριθμός corresponds to several Hebrew terms that convey the idea of counting or numbering, such as מִסְפָּר (mispar, Strong's H4557), which means "number" or "count." This Hebrew term is used in similar contexts in the Old Testament, emphasizing enumeration and the significance of numbers in conveying divine truths and historical records.

Usage: The word ἀριθμός is used in the New Testament to indicate a specific count or quantity of items, people, or concepts. It appears in contexts where enumeration or the idea of a total is significant.

Context: The Greek term ἀριθμός is found in several New Testament passages, where it is used to convey the concept of counting or numbering. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀριθμός is translated as "number." This term is significant in both literal and symbolic contexts.

Literal Usage: In Acts 4:4, ἀριθμός is used to describe the number of men who believed, indicating a specific count: "But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand." Here, ἀριθμός emphasizes the growth and impact of the early Christian community.

Symbolic Usage: In Revelation 7:4, ἀριθμός is used in a symbolic context: "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel." This passage uses ἀριθμός to convey a symbolic total, representing completeness and divine order.

The use of ἀριθμός in the New Testament often underscores the importance of precision and the significance of numbers in conveying theological truths. Whether used to describe the growth of the early church or to symbolize divine completeness, ἀριθμός serves as a reminder of the order and structure inherent in God's creation and plan.
