Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -ἑκατόν (hekaton) - Strong's Greek 1540, meaning "hundred."

Usage:The Hebrew word "meah" is used to denote the number one hundred. It is a cardinal number frequently used in the Old Testament to quantify people, animals, and objects. It often appears in contexts involving counting, measurements, and genealogies.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, numbers held significant cultural and symbolic meanings. The number one hundred was often used to represent completeness or a large quantity. In agrarian and pastoral societies, counting livestock or people in hundreds was common, reflecting the community's wealth or military strength. The use of "meah" in the Bible reflects the importance of order, structure, and the ability to manage resources effectively.
