[B-Greek] a question in LXX

That may be the answer, but let me try to read the mind of Revdpickrel. This
may be where he was going with this question...maybe not. Regardless, I'm
curious. DEUTEROU and EBDOMH are adjectives, and EIKADI is a noun. Why would
he say adj...adj...noun, when he could have just used a form of EIKOSTOS and
had adj...adj...adj? Was that your real question, Revdpickrel?

If you look it up in LSJ, EIKAS means "the twentieth day of the month."
EIKADI 
is simply the dative singular of the word.
