- ἐννέα ennéa · G1767 · nine
- Greek ἐννέα (ennéa, G1767) is the direct numerical equivalent of Hebrew תֵּשַׁע (têshaʻ, H8672), both denoting the cardinal number nine; LXX translators consistently render Hebrew תֵּשַׁע with Greek ἐννέα in numerical contexts across genealogies, chronologies, and measurements.
- ἔννατος énnatos · G1766 · ninth
- תֵּשַׁע (têshaʻ, H8672) denotes the cardinal number 'nine' in Hebrew, while ἔννατος (énnatos, G1766) denotes the ordinal number 'ninth' in Greek; these are morphologically distinct number forms in their respective languages that regularly correspond in translation contexts where Hebrew cardinal numerals render as Greek ordinals (e.g., in dates, sequences, or measurements).

- This numeral denotes the cardinal nine, as in Genesis 5:5's record that all the days Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years.
- Frequency002001003009
- תֵּשַׁע (têshaʻ, H8672) is the cardinal number "nine." The quotation "all the days that Adam lived were 930 years" at Genesis 5:5 shows this numeral sense, which does not independently attest the "Frequency" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with תִּשְׁעִים (tishʻîym, H8673) ("ninety") in the source data and is not confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrences.
