It appears in contexts where specific numerical values are important, such as counting days, people, or other items.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, numbers held significant importance in both daily life and religious practices. The number fifteen, while not as symbolically rich as numbers like seven or twelve, was still used in various contexts, including the Jewish calendar. For example, the fifteenth day of the month of Nisan is significant as it marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread following Passover.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1178: δεκαπέντε</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δεκαπέντε</span></span>, for the earlier <span class="greek2">πεντεκαίδεκα</span>, <span class="accented">fifteen</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/11-18.htm">John 11:18</a>;
