# adjective_cardinal_number Article
Biblical Hebrew does not contain numerals ("1", "2", "3", etc.) but rather uses words to express numbers ("one", "two", "three", etc.). There are two different kinds of 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 ("one", "two", "three", etc.). Cardinal numbers function as [attributive adjectives](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/adjective_attributive/02.md), but they do not follow the same rules as other adjectives. They may appear either before or after the noun they describe, and they may not always have the same grammatical form (gender, number, definiteness) as the noun they describe. As with other adjectives in Biblical Hebrew, a cardinal number can function as a noun and can appear in the [absolute state](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_absolute/02.md), the [construct state](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_construct/02.md), and/or the [determined state](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_determined/02.md).

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.
