Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + cardinal number, plural, absolute state; functions adjectivally or substantivally to denote the quantity twenty.
Rendering RationaleThe form עֶשְׂרִים is the masculine plural formation from the root meaning "ten," denoting "twenty" (ten doubled). The prefixed וְ conjunction is preserved as "and," and the cardinal plural sense is retained.
