Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb סָפַר (safar), which means "to count" or "to number." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G706 (ἀριθμός, arithmos): This Greek term is directly related to the concept of counting or numbering, similar to מִסְפָר. • G975 (βιβλίον, biblion): While primarily meaning "book" or "scroll," it can relate to records or lists, akin to the narrative aspect of מִסְפָר. • G1335 (διήγησις, diēgēsis): Refers to a narrative or account, aligning with the storytelling aspect of מִסְפָר. • G2674 (καταριθμέω, katarithmeō): Means "to number among" or "to count," reflecting the counting aspect of מִסְפָר. • G4128 (πλῆθος, plēthos): Denotes a multitude or large number, which can be related to the idea of counting or numbering large groups as seen with מִסְפָר. This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term מִסְפָר, its usage in the biblical text, and its corresponding Greek terms, offering insight into its theological and narrative significance. Usage: The word מִסְפָר appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often relating to the counting or numbering of people, objects, or events. It can also imply a sense of limitation or finiteness when used to describe something that is countable. Context: • General Usage: מִסְפָר is frequently used in the Old Testament to denote a specific count or tally. It appears in contexts such as census-taking, listing genealogies, and describing quantities of items or people. For example, in Genesis 15:5, God tells Abraham to "count the stars" if he is able, using the concept of מִסְפָר to illustrate the vastness of his descendants. • Narrative Contexts: Beyond its numerical sense, מִסְפָר can also be used in a narrative context, where it may refer to the recounting or telling of events. This usage underscores the importance of recording and remembering significant occurrences in Israel's history. • Theological Implications: The use of מִסְפָר often highlights the sovereignty of God in determining the boundaries and numbers of nations and peoples. It serves as a reminder of the divine order and structure within creation. • Examples in Scripture: • In Exodus 12:37, the Israelites are described as "about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children," using מִסְפָר to convey the vast number of people involved in the Exodus. • In Psalm 147:4, it is stated, "He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name," illustrating God's omniscience and power through the concept of numbering.
