Pente identifies a quantity of five, attached to people, objects, periods, measures, and grouped entities in Scripture.

The term consistently marks a count of five across varied contexts: loaves and talents, people and animals, months and days, cities and porticoes, and larger numerical expressions. Its use is a straightforward numerical modifier rather than a distinct action or quality.

Senses in use

  1. A count of five for varied nouns and groups · dominant

    The form marks counted items and persons: in Matthew 14:17 the APB renders the clause with “five loaves and two fish,” while in Matthew 25:20 it renders a servant bringing “five more talents.” It also marks duration in Acts 20:6 (“five days”), a physical feature in John 5:2 (“five porticoes”), and a household group in Luke 12:52 (“five in one house”).

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB normally expresses the numerical quantity directly, as in “five loaves,” “five days,” “five months,” and “five talents.” These English phrases confirm the clauses’ counted quantities rather than isolating every individual correspondence.
