A straightforward numerical term indicating the quantity fifteen. In biblical usage, it appears in measuring distances, counting days, and marking time periods. Bethany was fifteen stadia from Jerusalem—roughly two miles, a Sabbath day's journey. The sailors sounding the depth found fifteen fathoms. Paul spent fifteen days with Peter in Jerusalem. These references demonstrate the term's simple quantitative function without symbolic overtones, though in Jewish numerology fifteen could be represented by yod-he (spelling part of God's name) rather than the usual letter combination.
