It appears frequently in the Old Testament to quantify people, animals, and objects, as well as to describe measurements and time periods. Its usage underscores the significance of numbers in biblical narratives, often symbolizing completeness or a large quantity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, numbers held symbolic meanings and were often used to convey theological truths. The number one hundred, represented by "meah," could signify abundance or completeness. In agrarian and pastoral societies, counting livestock or people in hundreds was a practical way to manage resources and organize communities. The use of "meah" in the Bible reflects the importance of order and structure in the life of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
