Strong's Lexicon asar or esreh: Ten, -teen (as in thirteen, fourteen, etc.) Original Word: עָשָׂר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עֶשֶׂר (eser), meaning "ten." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1176 (δέκα, deka) – meaning "ten" - G1180 (δεκατέσσαρες, dekatessares) – meaning "fourteen" Usage: The Hebrew word עָשָׂר (asar or esreh) is used to denote the number ten and its compounds (e.g., eleven, twelve, etc.). It is often used in the context of counting, measurements, and ages. In compound numbers, it typically follows the unit number (e.g., "eleven" is "one-ten" in Hebrew). 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. The use of numbers in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of order and structure in the Israelite community, both in religious practices and daily life.
