It is employed to describe sequence or order, particularly in lists or series. The usage of "pemptos" is straightforward, indicating the position of an item or event as the fifth in a sequence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, numbers often held symbolic significance. The number five, and by extension the ordinal "fifth," could symbolize grace or God's goodness in some Jewish traditions. However, in the New Testament, "pemptos" is primarily used in a literal sense to indicate order rather than symbolic meaning.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>an ord. num. from <a href="/greek/4002.htm">pente</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fifth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fifth (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3991: πέμπτος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πέμπτος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πέμπτῃ</span>, <span class="greek2">πέμπτον</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">fifth</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/6-9.htm">Revelation 6:9</a>;
