In the New Testament, it is used in the context of calculating or reckoning numbers. The term carries the connotation of careful consideration or deliberation, akin to the methodical counting of pebbles or stones.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, pebbles were commonly used for counting and voting. The act of counting with pebbles was a meticulous process, reflecting precision and accuracy. This method was employed in various civic and commercial activities, including voting in political assemblies and conducting trade transactions. The use of pséphizó in the New Testament reflects this cultural practice of careful calculation and consideration.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5586.htm">pséphos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to count, calculate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>calculate (2).<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 5585: ψηφίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ψηφίζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐψηφισα</span>; (<span class="greek2">ψῆφος</span>, which see); <span class="accented">to count with pebbles, to compute, calculate, reckon</span>: <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">δαπάνην</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-28.htm">Luke 14:28</a>; <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀριθμόν</span>, to explain by computing, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/13-18.htm">Revelation 13:18</a>.
