SIBI-P1 H6242-06

and twenty

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + adjective cardinal number, masculine plural absolute. Functions as a cardinal number meaning "twenty" (a plural form built from עֶשֶׂר, "ten").
Rendering RationaleThe form וְעֶשְׂרִים consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the masculine plural cardinal number עֶשְׂרִים, meaning "twenty" (literally "two tens"). The rendering "and twenty" preserves both the conjunction and the plural cardinal sense derived from the root meaning "ten."
