SIBI-P1 H6235-05
ten
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, group of ten, numerical completeness in a basic unit |
| Semantic Range | the number ten; a basic counting unit; by extension numbers formed with ten (e.g., teens); occasionally symbolic fullness within a small complete set |
| Conceptual Significance | Ten functions as a foundational unit in the biblical numerical system, often symbolizing completeness within an ordered set (e.g., the Ten Words/Commandments). It marks structural completeness in covenantal, legal, and narrative contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (HAcfsa). In Biblical Hebrew, the feminine form עֶשֶׂר is typically used with masculine nouns due to gender polarity in numbers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form עֶשֶׂר is a feminine singular absolute cardinal number from the root עשר, denoting the quantity "ten" as a complete unit of counting. Although grammatically feminine singular (as reflected in the morphology), English numerals do not mark gender, so "ten" accurately preserves the quantity while respecting its singular cardinal form. |
