Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to become numerous.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term for the number one hundred is ἑκατόν (hekaton), which is Strong's Greek Number 1540. This term is used in the New Testament in similar contexts to denote the number one hundred, such as in the parable of the lost sheep in Matthew 18:12: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to search for the one that is lost?" Usage: The term מֵאָה (me'ah) is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to denote the number one hundred. It appears in various contexts, including counting people, animals, and objects, as well as in measurements and quantities. Context: • The Hebrew word מֵאָה (me'ah) is a cardinal number representing the quantity of one hundred. It is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe quantities in various contexts. For example, in Genesis 5:3, it is used to denote the age of Adam when he fathered Seth: "When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image, and he named him Seth." In Exodus 38:25-26, it is used in the context of the census and the contribution of silver: "The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel—one beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone twenty years of age or older who had crossed over to be counted, a total of 603,550 men."
