Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5140 (τρεῖς, treis): The Greek equivalent for the cardinal number three. • G5154 (τρίτος, tritos): The Greek equivalent for the ordinal number third. These Greek entries reflect the same numerical concepts found in the Hebrew שָׁלוֹשׁ, illustrating the continuity of numerical symbolism across the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The term שָׁלוֹשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number three, the ordinal third, or to indicate something occurring three times. It appears in various contexts, including counting, measurements, and time periods. Context: • The Hebrew word שָׁלוֹשׁ (shalosh) is a cardinal number used extensively throughout the Old Testament. It signifies the number three, which often carries symbolic meaning in biblical texts, representing completeness or divine perfection. • In Genesis 18:2, Abraham sees "three men" standing nearby, who are later revealed to be divine visitors. This instance underscores the significance of the number three in conveying divine presence or action. • The number three is also used in legal and ritual contexts, such as in Exodus 23:14, where the Israelites are commanded to hold "three annual feasts" to the LORD, emphasizing the importance of regular worship and remembrance. • In prophetic literature, the number three can denote a period of testing or trial, as seen in Jonah 1:17, where Jonah spends "three days and three nights" in the belly of the great fish. • The ordinal form, "third," is used in various contexts, such as in the division of time (e.g., "the third day") or in genealogical records to indicate birth order. • The repetition of actions or events three times often signifies emphasis or certainty, as in the thrice-repeated call of Samuel in 1 Samuel 3:8.
