Chamiyshiy, “Fifth,” Strong’s H2549

February 7, 2021 by Christine Miller Leave a Comment

Zec 8:19 | scripture pictures @ alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Gen 1:23

The primitive root.

Strong’s H2549 חמישי chamiyshiy; an adjective meaning “fifth,” the ordinal of Strong’s H2568 חמש chamesh; a primitive cardinal number meaning “five.”

chet ח = wall, thus outside, divide, half
mem מ ם = water, thus chaos, mighty, blood
shin ש = two front teeth, thus sharp, press, eat, two, again

The cognate words will help us find the story. They are ‘fingers,’ ‘to grab,’ ‘to touch,’ ‘to hold:’ Fingers are divided (chet) from the might (mem) of the hand multiple times (shin); the fingers of the hand number five.

The Hebrew Testament Biblical text is from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition posted by Mechon Mamre online. I have aligned the verse and chapter numbers to the KJV. The Greek Testament Biblical text is from the 1769 Authorized King James edition posted by Official King James Bible online.  For both Testaments, I have modernized words, spelling, and grammar. Translation changes to correct anti-Messiah and anti-Torah bias are noted in the text. The linked studies, chiastic structures, and Scripture pictures are my own and are copyright © Christine Miller.
