# adjective_cardinal_number Article
Hebrew does not have special symbols for numbers (2, 4, 16) but always spells out the number (two, four, sixteen).
Biblical Hebrew does not contain numerals ("1", "2", "3", etc.) but rather uses words to express numbers. There are two different kinds numbers: cardinal numbers and [ordinal numbers](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/adjective_ordinal_number/02.md). Cardinal numbers are used either to express the name of a number itself or to express the quantity of a thing. Cardinal numbers function as [attributive adjectives](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/adjective_attributive/02.md), but they may not always have the same grammatical form (gender, number, definiteness) as the noun they describe.
NOTE: Sometimes a cardinal form ("one", "two", "three", etc.) is used, but an ordinal meaning ("first", "second", "third", etc.) is clearly indicated from the context.
