Strong's Lexicon

esrim: Twenty

Original Word: עֶשְׂרִים
Part of Speech: Noun
Transliteration: `esriym
Pronunciation: eh-sreem
Phonetic Spelling: (es-reem')
Definition: Twenty
Meaning: twenty, twentieth

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עֶשֶׂר (eser), meaning "ten."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the number twenty is εἴκοσι (eikosi), Strong's Greek #1501.

Usage: The Hebrew word "esrim" is used to denote the number twenty. It appears frequently in the Old Testament, often in contexts involving counting, age, measurements, and quantities. It is a cardinal number used to specify amounts or to describe age, such as in genealogies or census records.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, numbers held significant meaning and were often used symbolically. The number twenty, being twice ten, could imply completeness or a doubling of a foundational number. In practical terms, it was used in various contexts, such as in the age of military service (Numbers 1:3) and in the construction of the tabernacle (Exodus 26:18).
