Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root שְׁמוֹנֶה (sh'moneh), meaning "eight."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3637: ὀγδόος (ogdoos) • This Greek term is the equivalent of the Hebrew "shemini," meaning "eighth." It is used in the New Testament to denote the eighth in a sequence, similar to its Hebrew counterpart.

Usage: The word "shemini" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the eighth in a sequence, often referring to the eighth day or the eighth item in a series. It is frequently used in the context of religious observances and rituals.

Context: The term "shemini" appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often associated with religious ceremonies and rituals. One of the most notable uses is in Leviticus 9:1, where it marks the eighth day of the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests. This day is significant as it represents the culmination of the ordination process and the beginning of their priestly duties. The eighth day is also mentioned in the context of circumcision, as seen in Genesis 17:12, where it is commanded that male infants be circumcised on the eighth day after birth, signifying their covenant with God.

In the context of the Feast of Tabernacles, the eighth day, known as Shemini Atzeret, is a solemn assembly and a day of rest, as described in Leviticus 23:36. This day serves as a conclusion to the festival and is distinct from the seven days of Sukkot.

The use of "shemini" underscores the importance of the number eight in biblical symbolism, often representing new beginnings, sanctification, and covenantal relationships. The eighth day frequently signifies a transition from the ordinary to the sacred, marking a new phase in religious observance or personal commitment to God.
