Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew verb שָׁשָׁה in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, Greek terms related to division or partitioning, such as διαμερίζω (diamerizo • to divide, distribute) or ἕξ (hex • six), may conceptually align with the idea of dividing into sixths, though they do not carry the exact same meaning or usage.

Usage: The term שָׁשָׁה is used in the context of dividing something into six parts or portions. It is a verb that describes the action of partitioning or apportioning into sixths.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁשָׁה (shashah) is a rare term found in the Hebrew Bible, primarily used in contexts involving division or apportionment into six parts. This term is closely related to the concept of the number six, which holds significant symbolic meaning in biblical texts, often representing completeness or human effort. The action of dividing into sixths may be seen in various contexts, such as land distribution, allocation of resources, or ritualistic practices. The precise occurrences and applications of שָׁשָׁה in the biblical text are limited, and its usage underscores the importance of structured division and order within the community of Israel. The term reflects the meticulous nature of biblical law and order, where even divisions are carefully prescribed and followed.
