SIX
@
(
M
, 1803), whence Eng. prefix, “hex”-, is used separately from other numerals in
Matt. 17:1; Mark 9:2; Luke 4:25; 13:14; John 2:6; 12:1; Acts 11:12; 18:11; Jas. 5:17;

(1) In combination with
, “forty,” it occurs in John 2:20; with
, “seventy,” Acts 27:37, “(two hundred) threescore and sixteen.” (2) It
forms the first syllable of
@
, “sixty” (see below) and
@
, “six hundred,”
Rev. 13:18 (see
SIXTY
, Note); 14:20.
SIXTH
(

27:45 and parallel passages; John 4:6; (c) an angel, Rev. 9:13, 14; 16:12; (d) a seal of a

SIXTY, SIXTYFOLD
@
(
= )
, 1835) occurs in Matt. 13:8,
RV
(
KJV
, “sixty-fold”); 13:23;
Mark 4:8, where the
RV
and
KJV
reverse the translation, as in Matt. 13:8, while in Mark
4:20 the
RV
has “sixtyfold,”
KJV
, “sixty”; in Rev. 13:18,
RV
, “sixty” (
KJV
, “threescore”).
It is rendered “threescore” in Luke 24:13; 1 Tim. 5:9; Rev. 11:3; 12:6.¶
Note:
In Rev. 13:18, the number of the “Beast,” the human potentate destined to rule
with satanic power the ten-kingdom league at the end of this age, is given as “six hundred
and sixty and six” (
RV
), and described as “the number of (a) man.” The number is
suggestive of the acme of the pride of fallen man, the fullest development of man under
direct satanic control, and standing in contrast to “seven” as the number of completeness
and perfection.
SKIN
(
, 779), “a leather bottle, wineskin,” occurs in Matt. 9:17 (four times);
Mark 2:22 (four times); Luke 5:37 (three times), 38; in each place,
RV
, “wineskins” or
“skins,” for
KJV
, “bottles.” A whole goatskin, for example, would be used with the
apertures bound up, and when filled, tied at the neck. They were tanned with acacia bark
and left hairy on the outside. New wines, by fermenting, would rend old skins (cf. Josh.
9:13; Job 32:19). Hung in the smoke to dry, the skin-bottles become shriveled (see Ps.
119:83).¶
