Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew עֶשֶׂר (eser)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1176: δέκα (deka) • Greek for "ten," used in the New Testament to denote the number ten, similar to the Hebrew and Aramaic usage. Usage: This Aramaic term is used to denote the number ten. It appears in the context of counting or specifying quantities in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The term עֲשַׂר (asar) is an Aramaic numeral used in the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This numeral is equivalent to the Hebrew עֶשֶׂר (eser), both meaning "ten." The use of Aramaic in these books reflects the historical context of the Jewish exile and the influence of the Aramaic language during the Persian period. In the book of Daniel, for example, Aramaic is used from Daniel 2:4b to 7:28, a section that includes visions and narratives relevant to the broader Near Eastern world. The numeral עֲשַׂר is used in these texts to convey specific quantities, often in prophetic or symbolic contexts. The use of numbers in biblical texts can carry significant theological implications, often symbolizing completeness or divine order.
