G1520 · Greek — εἷς

Pronunciation: hice

Definition

numeral

one

  1. universally
    1. in opposed to many
    2. in opposed to a division into parts, and in ethical matters to dissensions
    3. with a negative following joined to the verb, εἰς... οὐ or μή (one... not, i. e.) no one, (more explicit and emphatic than οὐδείς)
  2. emphatically, so that others are excluded, and εἰς is the same as 2. a single (Latinunus equivalent tounicus)
    1. alone
    2. one and the same (not at variance with, in accord with oneself)
  3. the numerical force of εἰς is often so weakened that it hardly differs from the indefinite pronoun τίς, or from our indefinite article
  4. it is used distributively
    1. εἰς... καί εἰς, one... and one
    2. εἰς ἕκαστος, everyone
    3. a solecism, common in later Greek , is καθ' εἰς, and in combination καθεῖς (so that either κατά is used adverbially, or εἰς as indeclinablc)
  5. like the Hebrew אֶחָד, εἰς is put for the ordinal πρῶτος, first

Usually translated as

one, a, other, some, man, an, any, only, abundantly
