Strong's Lexicon dekar: Ten Original Word: דְּכַר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be ample Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the number ten is "δέκα" (deka), Strong's Greek #1176. This term appears in the New Testament, such as in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and the ten lepers healed by Jesus (Luke 17:11-19). Usage: The Hebrew word "dekar" is used to denote the number ten. It is a cardinal number that appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often signifying completeness or a full measure. In the ancient Hebrew culture, numbers held symbolic significance, and the number ten was frequently associated with law, order, and divine completeness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, numbers were not merely mathematical symbols but carried deeper meanings. The number ten, represented by "dekar," was often used in legal and religious contexts. For example, the Ten Commandments (though not directly using "dekar") represent a complete set of divine laws. The decimal system, which is based on the number ten, was also prevalent in trade and commerce, reflecting the practical use of "dekar" in everyday life.
