It is primarily used in the context of counting people, specifically in the miraculous feeding narratives where Jesus feeds a multitude.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, large gatherings of people were significant events, often associated with religious, political, or social occasions. The feeding of the five thousand is one of the few miracles recorded in all four Gospels, highlighting its importance in the early Christian community. This event demonstrated Jesus' compassion and divine provision, echoing Old Testament themes of God providing for His people, such as the manna in the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4000</b> <i>pentakisxílioi</i> – 5,000.
