SIBI-P1 H6240-01
ten
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, decade, group of ten, numerical completeness in a set of ten |
| Semantic Range | The number ten; a unit within larger compound numbers (e.g., thirteen, fourteen); ordinal sense in combination (tenth, -teenth); extended numerical expressions (e.g., multiples such as ten thousand). |
| Conceptual Significance | Ten functions as a foundational numerical unit in biblical thought, structuring legal, ethical, and ritual life (e.g., the Ten Words/Commandments). It often signifies completeness within a defined set and underlies related concepts such as the tithe (a tenth), marking covenantal obligation and ordered community life. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine singular absolute. Used independently or in combination to form compound numbers (e.g., eleven–nineteen) and ordinal expressions (-teenth). The masculine form typically modifies masculine nouns; a distinct feminine form exists for feminine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular absolute cardinal number (HAcmsa), so the faithful rendering is the masculine form "ten" used in counting masculine nouns or in compound numerals (e.g., -teen forms). English does not mark grammatical gender in numerals, so "ten" best preserves the lexical and grammatical value of the Hebrew masculine singular form. |
