SIBI-P1 H6242-02
twenty
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, grouping by tens, numerical completeness in tens |
| Semantic Range | twenty; twentieth (in ordinal usage depending on context); a full group of twenty units (years, men, shekels, etc.) |
| Conceptual Significance | As a multiple of ten, twenty participates in the biblical numerical system built on tens, often marking periods of time (such as age or years of service) or standard groupings in census, valuation, and narrative structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural absolute cardinal number derived from עֶשֶׂר (ten); used to quantify masculine nouns (with feminine nouns typically taking the alternate form עֶשְׂרִים in construct or עֶשְׂרֵה forms in compound numbers). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עֶשְׂרִים is the masculine plural absolute of עֶשֶׂר ("ten"), literally expressing "tens"—that is, two tens, or twenty. English does not mark grammatical gender in numbers, so "twenty" accurately conveys the plural cardinal sense while the masculine form is reflected in the Hebrew morphology. |
