Fifteen, Fifteenth
Fifteen, Fifteenth
lit., “ten-five,” occurs in Joh 11:18; Act 27:28; Gal 1:18.
Notes: (1) In Act 7:14, “threescore and fifteen” translates a different numeral, lit., “seventy-five.” This refers to all Joseph’s kindred whom he sent for. There is no discrepancy between this and Gen 46:26. The Sept. translations give the number as 75 in Gen 46:27 and in Exo 1:5, and this Stephen follows, being a Grecian Jew. (2) The corresponding ordinal numeral pentekaidekatos, “fifteenth” (lit., “five and tenth”) is found In Luk 3:1, where Luke dates the reign of Tiberias from the period of his joint rule with Augustus.
