πέμπτος G3991
Fifth; the ordinal number designating the fifth position in a sequence.
A straightforward ordinal adjective from pente (five), used exclusively in Revelation within the New Testament. It marks the fifth seal (Rev 6:9), where martyred souls cry out from beneath the altar; the fifth trumpet/angel (Rev 9:1), unleashing the terrifying locust plague from the abyss; the fifth bowl of wrath (Rev 16:10), poured on the throne of the beast; and the fifth foundation stone of the New Jerusalem, identified as sardonyx (Rev 21:20). The translations are uniformly literal: Spanish quinto, French cinquieme, German fuenfte.
