Strong's Lexicon eser or asarah: Ten Original Word: עֶשֶׂר Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to accumulate" or "to enrich." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1176 (δέκα, deka): The Greek equivalent for the number ten, used in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew words עֶשֶׂר (eser) and עֲשָׂרָה (asarah) both mean "ten." They are used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number ten, whether in counting, measurements, or describing quantities. The numeral is often used in various contexts, including commandments, plagues, and genealogies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number ten often represents completeness or divine order, as seen in the Ten Commandments, which encapsulate the moral law given by God to Moses. The number ten also appears in the context of tithing, where a tenth of one's produce or earnings was given as an offering to God, symbolizing trust and obedience.
