Strong's Lexicon esrin: Twenty Original Word: עֶשְׂרִי Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: `esriyn Pronunciation: es-reen' Phonetic Spelling: (es-reen') Definition: twenty, twentieth Meaning: The term "twenty" or "twentieth." Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root עֶשֶׂר (eser), meaning "ten." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1501: εἴκοσι (eikosi) • meaning "twenty." • Strong's Greek Number 1502: εἰκοστός (eikostos) • meaning "twentieth." These Greek entries correspond to the Hebrew/Aramaic numeral עֶשְׂרִי in terms of numerical value and ordinal position, reflecting the translation and adaptation of numerical systems across languages in biblical texts. Usage: This Aramaic numeral is used to denote the number twenty or the ordinal number twentieth in biblical texts. Context: The Aramaic numeral עֶשְׂרִי (esri) appears in the context of counting or specifying quantities, particularly in the books of the Old Testament that contain Aramaic sections, such as Daniel and Ezra. In these texts, עֶשְׂרִי is used to express the number twenty or to indicate the twentieth in a sequence. The use of Aramaic in these books reflects the historical and cultural context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period, when Aramaic was a common lingua franca of the region. The numeral is part of a broader system of Aramaic numbers that are occasionally interspersed with Hebrew text, illustrating the bilingual nature of the Jewish community during this era.
