SIBI-P1 H2572-09

and five-tens

Rootחמשׁ (ḥ-m-sh)
Core Meaningsfive, grouping in fives, division by five
Semantic Rangethe number fifty; a unit of fifty; a group of fifty persons; fifty as a numerical measure in time or quantity
Conceptual SignificanceThe number fifty carries structural and symbolic weight in the Hebrew Bible, marking completeness beyond seven cycles (e.g., the fiftieth year, Jubilee) and serving as a standard military or administrative grouping, thus reflecting ordered communal life built on base-five counting.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine plural absolute cardinal number; derived from חָמֵשׁ ("five"), indicating a multiple of ten (50).
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֲמִשִּׁים is the masculine plural cardinal form derived from the root meaning "five," literally denoting "five tens." Rendering it as "five-tens" preserves its transparent derivation from "five" while accurately reflecting its masculine plural absolute form with the prefixed conjunction "and."
