בְּ/עַשְׁתֵּֽי
𐤁/𐤏𐤔𐤕𐤉
ʻashtêy
in-eleventh
A form indicating 'eleven,' particularly in compound numerical expressions. Used exclusively in the construct state before the word for 'ten' (עָשָׂר), it forms the numbers eleven (cardinal) and eleventh (ordinal) in Biblical Hebrew. The term does not stand alone, but always appears as part of a construct phrase for counting or denoting sequence, e.g., 'eleven men,' 'the eleventh month.'
