Transliteration:ogdoos
Pronunciation:OG-do-os
Phonetic Spelling:(og'-do-os)
Definition:Eighth
Meaning:the eighth, one of eight, with seven others.
Word Origin:Derived from the Greek word "ὀκτώ" (októ), meaning "eight."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of "eighth" is Strong's Hebrew 8066 (שְׁמִינִי, shemini), which also means "eighth."
Usage:The term "ogdoos" is used in the New Testament to denote the ordinal number "eighth." It is primarily used to indicate sequence or order, particularly in contexts involving time or enumeration.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the biblical context, the number eight often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order. This is rooted in the Jewish tradition where the eighth day marks significant events, such as circumcision (Genesis 17:12) and the dedication of the firstborn (Exodus 22:29-30). The number eight can also signify a fresh start, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus, which is traditionally celebrated on the first day of the week, following the Sabbath, thus the "eighth day."
