+
+Adjective Cardinal Number
+=========================
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+In Biblical Hebrew, cardinal numbers are used to describe quantity or to
+express the name of a number itself ("one", "two", "three", etc.).
+
+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 :ref:`ordinal numbers<adjective_ordinal_number>`.
+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 :ref:`attributive adjectives<adjective-attributive>`,
+but they do not always follow the same grammatical rules. They may
+appear either before or after the noun they describe, and they may not
+always have the same grammatical form (gender, number, :ref:`definiteness<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 either the :ref:`absolute<state_absolute>`
+the :ref:`construct<state_construct>` state.
+
+.. 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.

+  **This one** came here to live as a foreigner
+
+"Two"
+-----
+
+As would be expected, the number “two” in Biblical Hebrew always takes
+the :ref:`dual<number_dual>` form.

+3-10
+----
+
+.. note:: These numbers have specialized uses when they take either a
+          :ref:`dual<number_dual>` ending or a :ref:`plural<number_plural>`
+          ending. When these numbers take a dual ending, they become simple
+          multiples ("three-fold", "four-fold", "five-fold", etc.); but when they
+          take a plural ending, they become multiples of ten ("thirty", "forty",
+          "fifty", etc.).

+11-19
+-----
+
+The numbers 11-19 are formed by writing the number 1-9 followed by the
+number 10. Thus, in Biblical Hebrew the number "eleven" is written as
+"one ten"; the number "seventeen" is written as "seven ten", etc.

+  I will not destroy it for **the twenty**'s sake
+
+In the following example, the nouns "day" and "night" are singular in form
+but plural in meaning.
+
+.. csv-table:: Example: GEN 7:4
+
+  אַרְבָּעִ֣ים יֹ֔ום **וְאַרְבָּעִ֖ים** לָ֑יְלָה

+  **forty** days **and forty** nights
+
+Multiples of ten plus units (21, 32, 43, etc.)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These numbers are written following the same rules as the numbers 11-19.
+Thus, the number "twenty-one" is written as "one twenty"; the number
+"thirty-two" is written as "two thirty"; the number "forty-three" is
+writen as "three forty", etc.
+
+.. csv-table:: Example: GEN 5:20

+  After the **sixty-two** weeks
+
+Multiples of 100, 1000, 10000, etc.
+-----------------------------------
+
+The nouns "hundred" (100) and "thousand" (1000) function the same as any
+other common noun with singular, dual, and plural forms. Although the
+number for "hundred" uses feminine endings and the number for "thousand"
+uses masculine endings, both numbers should be classified as "gender
+both" because the same form can be both grammatically-masculine and
+grammatically-feminine.
