and five-tens
| Root | חמשׁ (ḥ-m-sh) |
| Core Meanings | five, grouping in fives, division by five |
| Semantic Range | the number fifty; a unit of fifty; a group of fifty persons; fifty as a numerical measure in time or quantity |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine plural absolute cardinal number; derived from חָמֵשׁ ("five"), indicating a multiple of ten (50). |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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." |
