A count, amount, or total determined by counting; the concept of a number or sum, whether definite or indefinite. In extended use, 'miṣpār' can signal a specific count, a finite or ascertainable quantity, as well as a more general count such as 'many,' 'few,' or 'innumerable.' Abstractly, it is used for 'account' or 'tale,' referring to the act or result of enumeration or recounting. The term may take on either a precise mathematical sense or function more generally in contexts highlighting abundance, limitation, or narration.

SIBI-P1 Translation H4557-08
to their count
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine singular noun in construct (מִסְפָּר) + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("their"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִסְפָּר denotes the result of counting—a total or number. In construct with a 3rd masculine plural suffix and prefixed לְ, the form means "to/for their count," preserving both the possessive suffix and the prepositional relation. |
