STRONGS NT 1769: ἐνεός

ἐνεός, see ἐννεός.

STRONGS NT 1769: ἐννεόςἐννεός, more correctly ἐνεός (L T Tr WH (cf. the preceding word)), ἐννεου, ὁ (it seems to be identical with ἀνεως equivalent to unused ἀναυος, ἀναος, from ἄω, αὔω to cry out, hence, without sound, mute), dumb, mute, destitute of the power of speech (Plato, Aristotle): Isaiah 56:10, cf. Proverbs 17:28; ἐνεόν μή δυνάμενον λαλῆσαι, of an idol, Baruch 6:40 (Epistle Jer.); unable to speak for terror, struck dumb, astounded: so εἱστήκεισαν ἐνεοί, stood speechless (Vulg.stabantstupefacti), Acts 9:7; Hesychius ἐμβροντηθεντες. ἐνεοί γενόμενοι. Cf. Alberti, Glossary in N. T., p. 69. In the same sense ἀπηνεώθη, Daniel 4:16 Theod., from ἀπενεόω.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ἐννέα" (ennea), meaning "nine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the number nine is "תֵּשַׁע" (tesha, Strong's Hebrew 8672) and for ninth is "תְּשִׁיעִי" (teshi'i, Strong's Hebrew 8671). These terms are used in the Old Testament in similar contexts where numerical precision is required, such as in genealogies, measurements, and descriptions of time periods.

In summary, "ἐννέος" is a Greek term used to denote the number nine or the ninth in a sequence, contributing to the numerical and symbolic structure of biblical texts. Its Hebrew counterparts serve similar functions in the Old Testament.

Usage: The word "ἐννέος" is used in the context of counting or specifying the number nine or the ninth in a sequence. It appears in contexts where numerical precision is required, often in genealogies, lists, or descriptions of time periods.

Context: The Greek term "ἐννέος" is relatively rare in the New Testament, as the need to specify the number nine or the ninth occurrence is infrequent. However, its presence is significant in the context of biblical numerology, where numbers often carry symbolic meaning. The number nine is sometimes associated with completeness or finality, as it is the last single-digit number. In biblical literature, numbers can have theological implications, and while "ἐννέος" itself may not be heavily laden with symbolic meaning, its use contributes to the overall numerical structure within the text.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of "ἐννέος" would be consistent with its literal meaning, ensuring that the numerical integrity of the passage is maintained. The use of numbers in the Bible often serves to emphasize the orderliness and precision of God's creation and plan.
