It is often used in contexts involving time, sequence, or order, such as the sixth hour of the day or the sixth seal in the Book of Revelation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish and Greco-Roman world, the day was typically divided into twelve hours, starting at sunrise. The "sixth hour" would therefore correspond to noon. Numbers held significant symbolic meaning in biblical texts, and the number six often represented imperfection or incompleteness, falling short of the number seven, which symbolized completeness or divine perfection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>ord. from <a href="/greek/1803.htm">hex</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sixth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sixth (14).<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 1623: ἕκτος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἕκτος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἕκτη</span>, <span class="greek2">ἕκτον</span>, <span class="accented">the sixth</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/20-5.htm">Matthew 20:5</a>, etc. (From <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down.) <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>sixth. <p>Ordinal from <a href="/greek/1803.htm">hex</a>; sixth -- sixth. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1803.htm">hex</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>εκτη ἕκτη εκτην ἕκτην εκτης ἕκτης εκτος εκτός ἕκτος εκτω ἕκτῳ ekte ektē ekten ektēn ektes ektēs ekto ektō ektos hekte hektē hékte héktē hekten hektēn hékten héktēn hektes hektēs héktes héktēs hekto hektō héktoi héktōi hektos héktos<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/20-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 20:5</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Adjective -
