Usage: The term עֶשֶׂר (eser) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number ten. It appears in various contexts, including counting, measurements, and symbolic uses. Context: The Hebrew word עֶשֶׂר (eser) is a cardinal number representing the quantity ten. It is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe quantities, groupings, and measurements. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order, as seen in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28) and the ten plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-12). In Genesis 18:32, Abraham negotiates with God to spare Sodom if ten righteous people can be found, highlighting the number's significance in moral and divine contexts.
