It is used in the New Testament to denote the quantity of eight, often in contexts involving counting or listing items, people, or days.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In biblical times, numbers often held symbolic significance. The number eight is associated with new beginnings and resurrection, as it follows the number seven, which symbolizes completion or perfection. In Jewish tradition, the eighth day was significant for circumcision (Genesis 17:12) and the dedication of the firstborn (Leviticus 12:3). In Christian symbolism, the eighth day represents the new creation and eternal life, as Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, which is also the eighth day.<div class="vheading2">NAS
