Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 3638 (ὀκτώ • oktō): The Greek equivalent for the number eight, used in the New Testament in similar contexts of counting and sequence.
Strong's Greek Number 3590 (ὄγδοος • ogdoos): The Greek ordinal for "eighth," used in contexts such as genealogies and sequences.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew word שְׁמֹנֶה, its usage in the biblical text, and its cultural and symbolic significance.

Usage: The term שְׁמֹנֶה is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to denote the number eight, often in contexts involving counting, measurements, or sequences. It can also appear in ordinal form as "eighth."

Context: Occurrences in the Hebrew Bible: The word שְׁמֹנֶה appears in various contexts, including genealogies, descriptions of dimensions, and ceremonial instructions. For example, in Genesis 17:12, the command for circumcision on the eighth day is given: "And at eight days old every male among you must be circumcised." In 1 Kings 6:38, the construction of the temple is completed in the eighth month.
Symbolic Significance: The number eight often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order in biblical literature. This is seen in the context of circumcision, which marks a covenantal relationship with God, and in the dedication of the temple, which signifies a new era of worship.
Cultural and Religious Context: In ancient Israelite culture, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number eight, being one more than seven (a number of completeness), often represents a new cycle or a step beyond completion.
Examples in Scripture:
Genesis 17:12 (BSB): "And at eight days old every male among you must be circumcised."
1 Kings 6:38 (BSB): "In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans."
Leviticus 23:36 (BSB): "For seven days you are to present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day, you are to hold a sacred assembly and present an offering by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work."
